Hallelujah!  Praise the LORD, O my soul. I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Psalm 146:1–2 (BSB)

My soul is enraptured by Your majestic Presence, O God. In the stillness of Your creation—among the towering mountains and whispering winds—my spirit trembles in awe. Even the smallest flower, placed purposefully by Your hand, resonates within my heart that You see me. 

You commanded it to bloom in this very place, at this very moment, to stir my heart toward You, to refresh my weary soul, and to rekindle the longing to continue to draw nearer.

How humbling it is to stand before such magnificence and realize how small I am—yet how deeply I am loved. You, the God of the universe, are not ashamed to call me friend. Every petal and every breath of wind proclaims Your affection. Words fail me, yet my heart overflows with praise for Your beauty, Your faithfulness, Your mercy, and Your forgiveness… and most of all… Your love.

There remains within me a quiet ache—a loneliness that only You can fill. Who could ever understand the wonder of moments like these? Still, I long for the world to know Your glory, to see Your beauty, to taste Your love. I long for them to know You as I have known You, even more so. You reveal Yourself so tenderly to those who seek You. May Your glory shine through me and may Your Love be demonstrated through every small thing I do, Lord—not that I may be known, but that You may be known.

Lord, You have filled my soul with wonder. You meet me in quiet places and remind me that I am seen, loved, and chosen. Let every breath I take be a song of praise to You. Use my life to reflect Your glory— not that I might be noticed, but that others may behold You.

You are my joy, my friend, my everything. May my heart never cease to be in awe of You.

Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.  Psalm 103:1 (BSB)
