While we
were in Hawaii, Andy and I had a couple moments just the two of us. We walked
along the beach, had dinner and talked. We drove with the windows down and
scanned the horizon. We drove across stretches of black ground, volcanic rock
for miles. We could see the deep blue of the ocean just beyond the black
desert. On the other side of us, the peak of two mountains, a rainforest just ahead
of us. It is the kind of beauty that frightens you a little. We talked about
the God who made all of it, and how it displays Him, gentle and fierce all in
one form. It could devour you or delight you.
It got me
thinking about the two people in the car, how we love and how we are made. To
be formed by the same One who made all of this is humbling and freeing.
We are free to be both beautiful and fierce, loving and strong, humble but
unashamed. We don't have to fit anywhere. We don't have to apologize or be
afraid for being loved. We are made by Him and we are loved by Him, the scary safe
Creator.
