Seeing Him in The Holes, Sky and Bridges Alight

It's not a bridge, the picture, the vision that's been on my heart this week. But I don't think I could find one that would match it anyhow. Where could I go to snap a burning bridge? A blazing glory crossing from one crevice to another. Deep canyon bottoms with not just one bridge, but many of them ablaze in their straddling of depths.

Besides, how would I explain the bridges are God's people? A people afire for other's crossing to God's depth, a calling out by the Holy Spirit's burning desire for you, me, to know Him more. Is there such as more? He who has no bounds and I get lost in a blissful seeking of it. May we never tire of this more.

Instead, I have a hole in the sky. It's the picture I saw coming as I stood under it and knew when sun and clouds met, it was gonna be camera worthy. And why now? It didn't really match my heart, or did it?

The bright sun shone down on us throughout day time activities and though it was appreciated, it wasn't uncommon. Blue sky, sun, cool breezes and us enjoying God's turning seasons.

But it's when we let our cloudy self's be splayed open in sky for other's to see, does Son's gleaming brightness capture us. Him alone is glorious, but Him poking through others, makes us stop in awesome worship of the One relationship who is able to fill us. And more, always more. There are steps beyond salvation that takes us closer and deeper into heart knowledge of this One.

As much as we long to know more, to shine bright, He longs it more than us. For since the beginning, He desires to reveal Himself, calling us to come close. Each passing moment an opportunity to go to depths, to cross the bridge, to be a fire for Love. And the holes of life, only allow more of bright Son to shine through. It's written in the skies. For creation calls out and we're completely wrapped in the created. Who can turn and not see Him?

There's a depth of soul and spirit that calls out to Deep.
He's the One who answers it and burns glory plum through us. We only need see the hole and let Him fill it.


" For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:20-23 NKJ


I shared this at Ann's "Walk With Him Wednesday" on how we see.

Also shared at Emily's "Imperfect Prose". Step over and read more.

Let's share. Because of time-management, most days I don't reply to comments. But every precious one feels like we're at the table chatting. Sometimes they're read in the oddest of places, via my phone. And if you blog, I can assure you, I looked you up and lurked your words.
