the hound of heaven has fangs

"God is pursuing you," a friend said to me, "and it's not your typical courtship, full of sunrises and chocolates and warm butterfly feelings. Most of the time God's pursuance involves heartache in some other area of your life that only He knows is distracting you from Him."

Deus Absconditus

God was in the water that day
Pickin' through the roots and stones
Trippin' over sunken logs
Tryin' not to make his presence known
God was in the water that day
Wadin' in careful steps
Bubbles rising from His feet
Comin' up from the muddy depths
