Quiet and Restful
I have taken this long weekend to spend time resting and recharging both my body and soul. All week long I have been trying to prepare my heart for what this weekend means to me as a Christian. To reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus because of his love for me. His love for you. He died so that we could be saved from our sins and tomorrow we celebrate his resurrection and our eternal hope of salvation.
There is so much beauty and reflection of God all around us, if only we would open our eyes and our hearts to truely see. To be open to his voice. To pause in the rush and noise of this world, to seek Him out.
A couple of years ago I was extremely blessed to be able to go away with my husband and my Dad and tramp the famous Milford Track walk in Fiordland. I had waited many years to do this walk with my Dad and it was everything I had imagined. The beauty of the nature all around. An enormous spider web beautifully and intricately woven sparkling in the early morning dew. Crystal clear waters. Stunning bird life and the magical singing as they flit around and call out to each other. When we had reached the summit on the second day, my breath was taken away at the beauty before me. It was absolutely magnificent and how could you not feel God in such a beautiful place. Before me, stretching out for many miles was such grand creation, such awesome landscape and it felt like I was at the top of the world. It was absolutely breathtaking and I couldn't help but thank God for all the beauty before me. This is truely the work and creation of a master artist. Created for our enjoyment.
I always feel such calm and peace in nature because I believe that it is created for such a purpose.
It is my prayer that you will take time this weekend and the weeks following to reflect on Jesus, how much he loves you and cares for you.
Bless you
Love, Fiona
