The Heart of the Father

Swimming in His Presence,
I find myself
Sunlit beams push back the cloudy grey of life
When the dark woods come upon you
And the sorrows, pain, and broken places are too much,
There is always a way out
You are never alone
Come swim in the oceans of His love
Let the weights on your shoulders sink to the bottom of the sea
Turn your gaze to the heavens
Drink in the beauty in the canvas He paints everyday
Let His peace rise up around you like a mist
Let His joy soak your skin
Feel the warm rain drops splash upon you
Let the water of the Holy Spirit fill you with drunken passion
Let the steam that rises from the streets fill your lungs with life
Can you feel it rising?
Hope is alive today
Like a smile that passes from person to person,
So I cannot contain the Lord's joy deep within my bones
Celebrate!
Let His joy bring forth the rising of the sun
If you set your gaze on Him, He will part the tall trees of the thick, dark forrest and lead you into the sunlit rolling hills of His grace
Can darkness push back the light?
Can night smother the light of the sun?
What can darkness do when light shines on it?
Nothing
Darkness is nothing
It has no substance 
It is merely an absence of light
Let the Light of the Father pierce your heart and make your passions come to life
You are worth it to him 
Every dream, purpose, and vision you have for your life matters to God
Every desire, every passion, He wants to see you come alive
Dream with Him
Paint the sky with Him
Let the waterfall of His love wash away shame and fear
Run through the grassy meadows and dance with Him
Shout! Laugh! Cry!
Live with passion
God wants you to come alive and burn brighter and brighter
He loves you more than you can possibly imagine
He has been chasing after you since the day you were born
