Mmm.... Tastes Good.

A taste as sweet as honey.
A sound so magnificent resonating deep within the soul.
A sight so beautiful that a gaze too long will pierce the eyes.
A beautifully captivating fragrance penetrating deep throughout the nostrils.
A touch that heals all that press a finger to its garments.

All characteristics of Alpha and Omega, the Great Counselor, The Almighty, Yahweh, or more simply put- my God.

I find myself so absolutely overwhelmed by the goodness of the Lord. The guy (well, not really a guy at all) who gives off all of those senses in the most beautiful and harmonious way is the same guy who created the Heavens and earth; who is the same guy that created me.... AND THE SAME GUY THAT DESIRES A RELATIONSHIP ON A PERSONAL BASIS WITH ME.

The craziest part of it all is that the relationship is wrapped wholly and completely in love and nothing else. Not judgment, not wrath, but love. He knew we'd choose our independence... but could not bear the thought of not creating based solely on the idea that we would deliberately disobey His commands. Instead, He provided a reconciliation through the death of his Son. A love entirely for me, undeserved, yet meant to be.

"An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself so that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others," A.W. Tozer.

Amen Tozer, amen.
