God-echo

If I see Your testimony in water, creature, tree, and flower, how can I not reverence all that is and be thankful for provision,

blessing?

There is a God-echo in all of creation—a divine hello

that testifies of the Great God who calls all into His righteous stream.

Would I kick against pure love

to gather together my own shallow trinkets,

when the emptiness of these idols fall in shards from my fingertips.

With open hands,

I am ready to receive this love that has been there all along,

calling in creation,

whispering in my conscience,

yelling through my pain:  There is something more precious.
