Pictures That Let You Inhale Beauty and Exhale Chaos... Rest










And We Behold His GLORY...


And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we BEHELD HIS GLORY, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.  John 1:14

Glory as described in Webster's...
~ great honor and admiration won by doing something important or valuable; fame; renown

~ the condition of highest achievement, splendour,
~ radiant beauty or splendour; magnificence

GLORY.

Lord, You left glory - heaven.
You came with a glory announcement... Glory to God in the highest and on earth, Peace, good will to men.
YOU are GLORY.  GLORIOUS.

And that glory came in the middle of darkness.
On a dark night.
To those who were ready to receive it.

You came to pierce darkness.
Our darkness.
With Yourself.

With glorious light and truth.
Immanuel.  God with us.
Are you ready to receive Him?

Lord, You gave up
So something greater could be given.

You gave up glory and perfect beauty
to enter brokenness and pain and ugly.
You gave life,
So that we may have eternal life.
You entered brokenness
That we may know restoration.

You gave Yourself.
So that we may know You.

Lord, give us eyes to see You this day and every day.
To find You in the middle of pain, rejection, death, and brokenness.
That is why You came.... to pierce darkness and bring the light of glory to us.
