Come Home
No matter how hidden you believe you are, or how dark the night, or how far you have run — you are never far away from God. Not even a little. He is a breath, a heart’s whisper away. He hovers near waiting for you to say his name, and when you do? He comes running swiftly, so fleetly to your side. This fear that he has gone away may come after years of turning away, or after an hour of doubt. Either way, the answer is the same.
Call his name.
He loves you always. He does not change as everything and everyone else does. He is not like us. He is God and he is the way home.
Don’t be afraid. He just wants you to come home.
Psalm 139:7-12~
Is there any place I can go to avoid your Spirit?
to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you’re there!
If I go underground, you’re there!
If I flew on morning’s wings
to the far western horizon,
You’d find me in a minute—
you’re already there waiting!
Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
At night I’m immersed in the light!”
It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you;
night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.” (The Message)
Immersed in Light

Mary Anne, You always write just what I need. Your photography truly captures the beauty God has given to us and inspires me to photograph (using my phone) with a different vision.
Thank You!
Mom,
you’re so outrageously gifted. No one sees the world exactly as you do, and I think that can be a lonely place. But the world needs you to display your perspective because it’s eye-opening and life-giving. Don’t stop. Love you.
