look up
When I look down, here, all around me, I see ugliness. I see disappointment, pain, sin. But, when I look up, to the sky, to Heaven, I see beauty. I see the sun, moon, stars, clouds, sunrises, and sunsets. I see rainbows, and rain, and I see God. Oh, that I could simply lie on the ground and look up all day long, that I could just look at the artwork of the Lord; the reds, blues, pinks, yellows, whites, and all the other colors on His pallet. But, that is not what I am here for. Yes, I believe the Lord made all the beauty of the sky for us to enjoy, but we can't simply stare up and let the world pass us by. I have, and continue to, more than I would care to admit. I have simply been waiting- for something, for the Lord to return and take me home, for all the world to just forget me, for something, I am not sure. But I am learning, slowly, that I cannot spend my whole life in wait. I can yearn for Heaven, but I have to live right now. Lord, help me to live my life as you want me to. Help me to be your servant, and not spend my life like it is my own. I want my life to be the glorious thing you have in mind, not just the forgettable life that I have without you.
