Intrigue

To experience a state of curiosity and fascination about the Universe has been a wonderful blessing in my life. I've learned it's another benefit of grace.  There is so much dimension to things very commonly refered to as principles of the Gospel, spanning an understanding that I suppose I've missed quite often. For example, I've been suddenly hit by the awareness that even gratitude is really a deep state of intrigue and fascination.  Understanding everything is in God's hands provides an insight that God is generous beyond comprehension and produces a level of gratitude that motivates a deep level of worship. When is the last time you have stood in awe as you have witnessed His hand in your life? Brother of Jared literally saw the hand of the Lord because he knew something most of us don't know.  To know the Source is to know without any doubt the source that feeds us in everything.

 This curiosity has led me to study the psyche to understand the human heart and the Engineer who created it.  I study God's words to get a tiny peek in His mind, His logic, His perfect heart. I love the mysteriousness of Him.  I'm learning just how stimulating the words of God are. They enliven me, they stimulate my mind and enlarge my heart. He answers so many questions and then opens up new dialogue so even more insights can be gained.  He's the best conversationalist. Poverty doesn't exist when it comes to food for the soul. He is the bread of life. It's never ending. The hunger for connection even as we take our first breath is to crave God's presence. I delight in all of His creations. I see Earth as a beautiful ceremony. Our lives it's rituals. Our relationships a deepest form of worship. What a beautiful, beautiful world. It's humbling the lesson we are able to learn here.  A perfect institution for the heart. The richness and complexity of life provide critical nutrients for our souls to brighten. This Earth is where souls are born to journey and transcend, where we become acquainted with our God to begin our way back to Him. This mortal experience came perfectly equipped with every important question to be answered, every broken heart to be mended, every battle to be won. We just need to let Him get into our soil. We must allow Him to water us daily in the profound ways only a Perfect Father could.  Everything is a miracle.
