I can only imagine what it looks like from a hot air balloon. Looking down upon the earth and looking up to the heavens. I know that Hot Air Balloons only go up on clear days. It is clear how much you love us. Giving thanks for this new day!
The Bible speaks of love in Psalm 103:11-12 (NIV)
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
ON A CLEAR DAY ~ My soul is lifted high and my sins are gone
Psalm 103 New International Version (NIV)
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits--
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
THE WAY OF GOD IS UNIQUE ~
I love how God has taken our sins away and gives us another chance. I have made mistakes in life that changed my path. Yet, I often wonder of this journey of life as a mystery. The unknown of each day and yet the hope of a new day. Bringing us to a new level of trusting God and setting our minds on things above.
Verse 8 above,shows us how the Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
In Napa CA, you can see how air balloons on a clear day. It's beautiful to see how they just seem to float in the sky and different every day. It is all about the weather and the wind. It takes people who know what they are doing to fly these beautiful balloons. Then it takes brave people to get inside these baskets to fly high in the sky. I can totally relate this to God today. It takes God knowing his plan and allowing us to look up to see his plan unfold for us. The sky is painted different everyday and God has removed our transgressions from us.
BALLOONS ~ Are a way of celebrating special events. Today marks the 7th Birthday of my Granddaughter Brookley. I'm looking forward to seeing her and giving her a gift later today. I want to thank you for taking the time to read my blog and planting some scriptures within your heart.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
