Beautiful Promise.

There's so much we can do with words. We could dress up a naked word, and adorn it with decorations of imagery and twists of metaphors and analogies to appeal to every one of our senses. Our line of thought can be adjusted by what we read, we are positioned to like, hate, or be neutral about a subject. We can enhance, or take away from a subject of beauty, and we can create worlds, images, and dreams far beyond one's own imagination.

We can confuse, and we can confront.
We can entertain, and we can stir sympathy.

But we can't change hearts.

There's so much that we can say about our troubles, tribulations, and trials. There's so much complaining we could do, so much whinging and whining behaviour that can add to the surmounting pressure and stress that they provide with. We can go on forever, lamenting on our troubles, and always be depleted of any glimmer of hope, not even a rainbow of promise could lift our spirit.

We can compromise, and we can despair.
We can lament, and we can be blinded.

But we can see God.

But the one thing that is simple, the one thing that needs no words, is that God is greater. And God's glory will be revealed in us.

All it is really, is God. Not how cunning we are, how skillfully we play with our words, nor how moving we can be. Nor is it how hopeless we are, how punished we feel, and how deeply in a hole of depression we have fallen into.

It's about God. God makes things, and makes things beautiful by His mere word. It is His light, which He made, that streams down to give us hope in Him again. He put that rainbow in the sky; a promise given to us, to remind us that He is God. He is above all things. He is above the storm. His mere words silenced the storm, and He silences our storms, with a promise: that He is faithful, and He will do it. He will change our hearts.

This is flat.
This has no dressing of any kind.
This is God's work.
And these are God's words:

That He really is God, and that He is God above all things.

I really cannot say any more.

PTL, Sarah.
