Wild Love

Silence......stream, woodland stream, Tell me the secret of your origin!---Pope John Paul 2, A Poetic Prayer
 
How wonderful it is to walk in a spring field of budding grass at dawn. How beautiful to stand by a cold creek in these Mississippi woods, counting the fresh deer tracks along the shore. They stopped here earlier to drink. All of these wonders speak of our Beloved Jesus, for He is the Word, and through Him all things were made. All of His art speak to us of grace, beauty, and even wildness. He gives us the world to know His love, which is grace, and at times, is wild and frightening to us with our desire for control, and wanting everything explainable. It makes me think of Aslan in C.S. Lewis' masterpiece, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". The little girl is reminded that though Aslan is loving and gentle, he is also wild and unpredictable.  Jack, our Fiest, is walking with me this morning. Even his eyes speak of God's unconditional, wild love.
