NIGHT
The darkness of night falls across the endless plains of
the earth, blotting out every living thing in its path.
Its horizons are endless, abundant with speckled lights similar to that of millions of flickering candles.
Never before have the heavens been so abundant, its skirt of stars shining brighter than ever before.
The moon nowhere in sight. Not even a glimmer of her silver glow to be seen beyond the boundless depths of time and space.
Behold the beauty of the night. Behold the sounds that darkness echoes forth from its darkened, murky, depths.
The beauty of an abundant form of life, echoing in the far reaches of earth and space displaying her effervescent face of time and a gentle creators love, patience and skill.
Hour upon hour life springs forth. Breath upon breath the creator beholds his very own intimate handiwork, stretching forth from the endless plains of time and space.
Creatures of all forms fill the air, the sea, the very plains of the earth, alive with peace beyond comprehension.
What you see and feel is this work, the very image of the plains of heaven, alive in its victorious living, breathing light.
What you know and understand of life in the darkness, is the very essence of life which is poured fourth from the hand of our very own loving, caring, patient and merciful creator, known as Christ, endless as the plains of the universe, as strong as the very foundation of creation itself.
If you know Him, you can understand, but if you want to know Him, look beyond the darkness and peer endlessly into the timeless lights of the heart and you will behold Him, you will know Him as He is.
