Philippines Week #4
February 26, 2014
Last weekend we had our mini getaway with the FTPW of Metro Manila. We visited two natural phenomenas. There was one place where we had to walk down a bunch of steps…deeper and deeper into nature. Once we reached the bottom I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was surrounded by a huge mountain. A mountain with trees on it and a waterfall within in the rocks. There was an oasis where we were able to swim in it and jump off the rocks. It was called Tinago Falls (Hidden Falls). It has been one of my highlights so far. I was immersed and fully surrounded by the miraculous beauty of nature! As I jumped off the rocks and just floated on my back to soak in my surroundings. I was admiring the waterfalls and asked myself:
” Why do waterfalls never stop flowing? Why do they never stop falling?”
I was caught by this phenomena and connected it with the Infinity of God.
I was brought to tears.
God’s beauty
God’s love
God’s mercy
was overflowing.
” Why do waterfalls never stop flowing? Why do they never stop falling?”
My Child,
Waterfalls never stop
Flowing
Just as my love for you will never stop
Growing
No matter how many times you keep
Falling
This is a miracle
” Why do waterfalls never stop flowing? Why do they never stop falling?”
A waterfall
Is a miracle
Sometimes
Only nature can speak the words of God
Sometimes
God doesn’t want us to speak
Sometimes
God doesn’t even use words
He calls us to listen
And to be
Moved.
Amen 🙂
