Fireflies
There is a magical place here. I always thought it was just in my head, a place where fireflies live and twinkle in the pitch black of night. There is a magical place here. I always thought it was just in my head, a place where thousands of fireflies wink in the mist of hundred foot trees. There is a magical place here, not just in my head or my mind’s eye, it is real.  A place that seemed to know me when I walked into it, in my mind asking if it did indeed know me and the answer came a wonderful yes. The twinkling told me a story of God’s desire for me to see what amazing beauty really looks like as the twinkling got brighter, faster, and more brilliant. The twinkling told me a story of a book that God left on the mountain for all to read…He left instructions for His universe to follow that would make this land a beautiful place, He loved us enough to leave instructions so that we would not fail, He wrote it in a book and promised in the forward that His instructions would not be complicated to read or difficult to follow He said that anyone and everyone could do it! I could see the smile on His horizon face through the twinkling of the fireflies. God left the book on the mountain, it was not a big book, matter a fact it only had a few words in it.

It was not a complicated Book! I was amazed at the universe that came to me in the form of thousands of fireflies, as wondrous as it was simple, as sweet as it was pure, as honest as it was free. The entire awakening left me breathless, tearful, and full of humility. I love the Lord my God and He loves me.
