One Who Fills the Earth with Mercy
"The earth , O Lord, is full of Your mercy; teach me Your statutes." Pslam 119:64
Your mercy covers me in sunlight and rain. Refreshes me with the cool breeze. All these things invite me to know You, point us to You, Your beauty. Your mercy is beauty. Given to us to enjoy and wonder. Giving us sunsets and rises that take our breath away. They are all Yours and they call us to be Yours too.
"Nature is mortal; we shall out live her. When all the suns and nebulae have passed away, each one of you will still be alive. Nature is only the image, the symbol; but it is the symbol Scripture invites me to use. We are summoned to pass in through Nature, beyond her, into that splendor which she fitfully reflects."
C.S. Lewis, "The Weight of Glory"These earthly splendors we enjoy on the daily, that we bask in and desire to be a part of, they are You, so our desire is truly You.
Your mercy fills this place and calls us all by name.
