I can look to God... and if i see, it is a thing of fear. Only by looking at the world around me with His eyes, His heart, and His compassion do I begin to know His heart. It stirs me with respect to the world, but draws me first more closely to Him. I am compelled to gaze into His face, for I feel His heart; how He stands up inside for the yearning and hoping to be with each soul, how each glance He gives raises Him, how each breath they draw He feels.
When I press close to Him I feel each time His heart skips a beat, each joy at a moment turned to Him. I feel heaven open where worship burns, I hear Glory as it begins to fall...
I also begin to know the depth of God's own prayers. Redemption pours out from God's right hand, while He looks so intently at everyone and loves. Intercession comes up eternally in rhythm - words, sound, movement. It is with love and longing that God sees the world, and draws me close to teach. It is by love that glory rains down, that life exists, and by love we can worship and in Him live, move and be.
