Depth.

“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls.

All of your waves and breakers have swept over me.”

Psalm 42.7

Deep.

God is deep.

Deep enough to drown in, but the other side of this death is eternal life.

You are also deep.

There is a depth to the human soul that mirrors the depth of God, however imperfectly.

For you were created in His image.

Abandon yourself to the depth that is within you, to the depths that God wants to draw you into.

Your soul is crying out, longing for that connection, that depth, that death… that life.

And God is yearning for you to allow it to overtake you.

For after you drown in Him, you will float in His river, resting peacefully, as He renews your strenth and gives you what you will need in order to carry out the work He has for you.

Dive into the deep end.

He’s waiting for you.

*****

That came during the opening music time at Tehillah tonight. Pastor John said that God is deep (basically the first two lines of the above). And that set me off.

At the end of the service, I had this picture:

I do not know who it is, or anything. But her face came to me as I prayed, and so I drew.

After this one came clear, another drawing arrived in my sketchbook:What I find most interesting is that the pictures really did look like comic book characters when I saw them in my mind.

It wasn’t really clear, at first, but I fought for the clarity so I’d be able to draw them. “Show me. What is it really? I can’t draw it if I can’t see it.” And then it was there.

Amazing.
