Amazed
Awestruck
Astounded
Stunned
Astonished
Wonder-filled.........
When is the last time any of these happened to you?
I love it when it happens to me! It's like an awakening almost - at the very least a breath of fresh air.
A sure place for this to happen for me is when I am in God's presence. When I worship Him and He inhabits my praise, I am often lost for words - overwhelmed by Him and his presence - sometimes this brings laughter, other times tears.....
- it always leaves me awed and wonder-filled.
But I am finding the same reactions when I have (take) time to see the beauty he put me in the middle of...
when I see these things, a smile fills my face and thankfulness my heart.
And there are times I think about the song : "I can only imagine" by Mercy Me - and when that day comes when I get to see my creator face to face and when all I see around me now will be renewed ..........
When what I sense and experience here in His presence -
when what I see around me here -
when all that leaves me amazed, humbled and filled with wonder, -
then knowing that what is to come is better, surpassing in every way....
I have to be honest and say that I can't imagine what it will be like, since what I imagine is based on what I have experienced or seen here.
All I can do is keeping my heart and eyes open to the wonders He displays before me and continue to be childlike in my awe and wonder of my God and his works.
"When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?....
O Lord, our Lord how majestic is your name in all the earth!"
Psalm 8:3,4 &9
