Sabbath Sunday: God, The Romancer

Each Sunday I share my amateur nature picture with a thought or two about God’s love for you. This month is also part of the thankful series, so I’ll be sharing that too.

I’m thankful that God is a romancer. That’s not something you read everyday, it’s a concept I first read in Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. He longs intimacy with us. Sadly we misuse that word, because it truly is a pure and beautiful concept.

God romances me with His creation. I’ve always loved sunsets. Water scenes always give me peace. Mountains are the most majestic thing and I can come undone by their sight. When you see those “diamonds” in the snow, those are for you. God’s a show off. He’ll paint a masterpiece just for you. I pray you start seeing His romance and fall in love with Him whether it’s for the first time, or all over again.

Even better than these scenes is knowing His Son. I’m thankful for the friendship I have with Jesus. How we adults complicate things. Knowing Him hasn’t held me back. He set me free. Befriending Him hasn’t made me an angry hypocrite, but a healed woman who wants to reach out and love others because He loved me first.

I’m thankful for you stopping by. Trust me, it wasn’t an accident!
