Father, thank you for inviting me into Your presence today. To take a step back and find peace in all You are, to have love overtake my heart, and to be consumed by your glory...

In this season of my life,
You shed the colors that my human hands have painted
the glory my meager imagination tainted,
for it wasn't big enough to grasp you,
I stand in awe as your colors burst through,
the unchanging colors of You.

And as the leaves I use to hide my face from you fall away,
I stand naked and bare before you
Longing for you to deepen these roots,
let your living waters flow
Preserve your joy in me as winter comes.
