God is chasing us....

In the pain, God is chasing you, in the beauty, he is chasing you, in the joy, in the chaos, in the confusion and in the hope... He still... is after you, chasing the beauty that is within you, to be loved, to be wanted, to have purpose, the longing within, it is for him, it is from him, he placed it there to draw us back, the empty to be filled, the lost to be found the chaos to be ordered, this mystery, this love, it overwhelms, it is him, this is him, he is this love, he is fullness, his peace is beauty, he chases us for this very purpose. To be whole, to bend the knee, to face seeming defeat and realize that in him is no such thing, unless it be to defeat our foes, in him we have this all elusive life, life abundant, life to the full, life overflowing, beautiful life, light in the midst of darkness, emerging from the shadows.... glorious and brilliant God given life. To behold his beauty is to breath deep, to embrace his love is to be changed. He is chasing you, with these gifts to bestow, he is chasing you, to romance your soul, oh that I might be the beauty in this story of his love, that I might be worthy, that I might be enough.... He whispers... you are, because I made you to be this, you are enough, and what is too much, I will strip away, that what is real may be revealed, and that you would see me with eyes unclouded, as I long to be seen, the lover of your soul that is after your heart. God is chasing us, to have us turn toward him, to accept his embrace, to delight in his presence, to breath deep in his love, to surrender to his beauty... God thank you for this chase.
