The color of vibrancy, the color of beauty, the color of Majesty.
Glancing behind and forward, I find eyes growing accustomed to dimness.
A heart sensitive to the winds of this life knocking me as I walk with a resolve to seek You.
A spirit growing weary of constantly waiting.
Drawn to narrowly perceive my life through the eyes of this world, I feel a grip on this color slipping from my hands. Simple words, simple statements, simple things crossing my path, and it continues to loosen. They come and snatch color from my sky.
I need You to be my shield God. To surround my heart and to protect me from things of this world because they unearth past fears, stir me to doubt, and move me from a place of confidence in You to a small corner of doubt.
Jesus, You speak Life into my veins.
You plant beauty with purpose on a path that unfolds to lead me deeper into Your heart. With a second glance at my story, Your color fills my eyes with wonder at the work of Your hands. Carefully orchestrated missteps and diversions point me into the beauty of Your plan for my life lying within Your story.
Jesus, maker of Beauty, remind my heart.
Chase my heart down and bind it to Thee. May the Spirit convict me of my worth Lord and Your divine purpose for me in these 4 short years of college. Overwhelm my vision with Your beauty every single day of this short life.
Be my Shepherd to cut a path through the dimness of my own making to discover the fullness of Light seeking to lead me forward in peace.
"Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.
Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking." -Ezekiel 1:28
