waterfalls

Waterfalls have always spoke to me. They have always had something to say. Rushing waters is the description of the voice of the Lord, and what is more rushing than a water fall. They are so vibrant, alive, and even terrifying. They rush and they crash. They are uncontrollable and mesmerizing.

Waterfalls look like Jesus and love. They are an ocean and a fountain. We get put in the center of the flow, totally surrounded by the chaos of water and love and blood.

My favorite thing about waterfalls is that they are wild. I love the word wild. Unpredictable and wild is my prayer, hope, and expectation for life.
C. S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce describes a waterfalls in this excerpt. This calls to life the romance and love of our souls:
“‘Fool. Put it down,’ said a great voice suddenly. It was quite unlike any other voice I had heard so far.  It was a thunderous yet liquid voice. With an appalling certainty I knew that the waterfall itself was speaking: and I saw now (though it did not cease to look like a waterfall) that it was also a bright angel who stood, like one crucified, against the rocks and poured himself perpetually down towards the forest with loud joy.”
Mighty Rushing Waters speaks. Yet another glimpse of the Lord we are invited to search out and enjoy and lose ourselves in. Oh, yes Jesus, I will.
