Lost in His gaze

My oh my, the Lord is so good. His faithfulness never ceases to amaze me. I love that His heart is FOR us not against us, and that when He tests us it's for our good not just to make us suffer. Our God is so good. I have felt his presence so strongly the last few days and it just makes me want more and more of Him. He has put such amazing people in my life for each circumstance I go through, to help and encourage me in my growth.

O Lord where to start?
I love You and want to be swept away by You; something you've already started to do.
My heart burns violently inside of me because of You and your beauty.
Thank you for making us in your image and that we are your most prized possessions.
Thank you that you desire no harm or condemnation for us, but only fullness of joy.
You are a joyful God.
You love love.
You love my happiness, and despise my pain.
You cry when I am broken.
Your beauty takes my breath away every time.
You restore my innocence to that of a little girl.
All else fades away when I am in Your presence.
You are the ultimate Daddy who has eyes of passion for His children.
You are jealous for me.
You are sheer perfection. You heal every hurt, you wipe away every tear, you love the unlovely.
Your desire is for me, not against me. You have no plans to ever hurt me.
I don't even know where to start, Lord!
Your gifts are wonderful, but your presence is unsearchable. There is none like you.
Thank you, dad.
