"The Unseen"

"The Unseen" - Painting by Emily Ann Holuta

I want you to picture Jesus looking at you

 putting his hand under your chin 

and gently lifting it to his eyes and saying

 "look at my eyes"

"I care for you and will take care of you

- trust me:)"

When you hear the birds sing🐦

 know I gave them their song.

 When you see the lovely flowers 🌾

know I gave them their color and delicate petals.

When you look in awe at the mountains 🗻

and the sky 💫and the moon🌙

know I have placed them 

-just in the right spot just at the right time.

When you hear the ocean waves 🌊

and see the tide come and go

 and the sand stays and is not washed away

 know I have set the boundaries of the waves, 

so I surround you, very watchful,

 carefully guarding and keeping

 with the jealousy

 that your my own💜.

Psalm 23 (VOICE)

1 The Eternal is my shepherd, He cares for me always.

2 He provides me rest in rich, green fields

    beside streams of refreshing water.

    He soothes my fears;

3 He makes me whole again,

    steering me off worn, hard paths

    to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name.

4 Even in the unending shadows of death’s darkness,

    I am not overcome by fear.

Because You are with me in those dark moments,

    near with Your protection and guidance,

    I am comforted.

5 You spread out a table before me,

    provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies;

You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil,

    filling my cup again and again with Your grace.

6 Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me

    where I go, always, everywhere.

I will always be with the Eternal,

    in Your house forever.
