A love so deep...

She walked along the beach and felt the sun soaking into her skin. A warmth so comforting, and one which she'd missed. Around her lay the creations of her Father - those which he'd made a time so long ago that she couldn't even comprehend where his ideas came from. A time so long ago that His creations had even changed a little. Time does that to things. It can make what was once beautiful, ugly. And it can make what was once ugly, beautiful. Time can do a lot of things, but she knew it wouldn't change the way she loved Him.

The world around seemed to disappear as she let her thoughts wander. To a stranger or passer by she looked to be alone, but she knew better. She smiled a glorious smile, all to herself. Her Father was still with her, somehow. She didn't need to know the answers - she just needed Him. Her smile disappeared as she gazed at the ocean. Her face now held a different expression - one that is hard to describe. Her eyes were filled with tears, but not the sort which come from pain. Such passion and joy as cannot be described were written into each tear, but they did not fall from her eyes. She breathed deeply, filled with a love so deep, so intense, so full.

The sun reflected a million stars onto the ocean. The wonder and beauty left her lost for words. But she didn't need words. He knew how she felt. And as she stood there, loving Him for all that He is, but only truly knowing a fraction of His glory, she couldn't help but think that this creation was made just for her.
