Day 25: A Wonderful World

My little girl's heart looks at life so simply,

as it is so very sensitive,

that I forget that I am a 64 year old woman.

My dad was like that.

His favorite song was

"A WONDERFUL WORLD".

This song

looks at the world so simply,

for where the colors of the trees and the flowers and the sky

lassos your heart in a way that

you have to thank GOD for

what A WONDERFUL WORLD.

And then when the sky gets cloudy and grey

you may forget the colors

that once where,

but are they really gone?

I want to see PERFECTION all the time.

I expect PERFECTION all the time,

but a PERFECT EXPECTATION

that is not found in a sky or a tree or a flower,

but in the hearts of all.

The same PERFECTION 

that GOD so desired from the very beginning

when HE created the sky, the trees and the flowers

and said it was all GOOD.

Not only was nature GOOD, 

but the man and the woman were also so GOOD. 

Oh what A WONDERFUL WORLD GOD created,

until it wasn't.

BUT GOD never stopped trying to bring

the PERFECT world back,

giving all HIS humans chance after chance to return to HIM,

so that the world would be PERFECT.

What is GOD'S PERFECT WORLD?

For when all HIS humans are filled with

HIS PEACE,

HIS JOY,

HIS HOPE,

and

HIS LOVE

so that we all will live

IN PERFECTION

which is

LIVING as HIS

IN JESUS CHRIST!

Can you picture the moment

when

PEACE on earth had finally come for all,

when HIS LIGHT broke through the dark night sky

shedding an everlasting LIGHT 

that brought JOY back into mankind~

"Suddenly, GOD’S angel stood among them and GOD'S glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide:

 A SAVIOR has just been born in David’s town,

a SAVIOR who is Messiah and Master" (Luke 2:9-10)

PERFECTION~

when HOPE could finally be TOUCHED,

as HOPE was swaddled

in a PERFECT little BABY.

Oh what A WONDERFUL WORLD it is.

PERFECTION was birthed on earth for one and for all.

Oh this simple little girl's heart that occupies this 64 year old woman

wants everyone to live in HIS PERFECTION.

What if PERFECTION became a reality for ONE AND FOR ALL,

for ALL to embrace our

JESUS who isn't complicated.

As JESUS didn't come to mess up this world,

but to restore it back to the way GOD created it be~

for everyone to live IN

the PERFECT PEACE

that transcends all understanding

because

JESUS is the

PERFECT LOVE

that embraces ONE AND ALL,

with no questions asked

because

OUR FATHER who art in heaven

is OURS.

ONE GOD. ONE JESUS.

ONE who fits every person.

JESUS makes our world WONDERFUL. 

So I thank my dad,

whose childlike heart craved the simplicity in the complicated,

as that he would stop and would be so still

to breathe in and embrace the

PEACE,

JOY,

HOPE,

&

LOVE,

with a huge smile,

 as he would look beyond the complicated

and see GOD'S PERFECTION

and claim in it as he sang

"WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD"
