The Mountains Majestically Rise Up

“The mountains majestically rise up above the changing landscape of the earth, and the oceans sound forth their power and might with each wave that crashes upon the shores of the land, and the heavens above with clouds of white and storms that rage are but a veil to the innumerable stars that forever shine. 

Seasons come unto the earth and the mountains become white with snow and the land below changes from green and lush to brown and barren only to change once more into a different beauty.  Man has changed the landscape of the earth, and fields of grass become stadiums or parking lots, and land once covered in beautiful and diverse trees becomes a barren wasteland, but the mountains remain, and the oceans prevail, and the heavens reveal the timeless beauty of the Lord. 

Like the land, we have seen changes come to our lives – some wonderful that brought joy and improved our days, and some changes have brought sadness and have damaged and scarred.  With the passing of time I have changed, and the face and the form have changed as the seasons have gone by, but within me there is a mountain, the ocean, and the sky.  Within me there is a spirit that has its origin in the Lord, and it may change and grow wiser with the passing of time, but it will not pass. 

Bodies grow old and time passes, but there is a spirit in man that is of the eternal light, breath, and spirit of the Lord, and it is a spirit that does not die as the flesh eventually dies.  I grow older with each passing year, and I may look like the land that changes with time, but within I am the mountain, the ocean, and the sky.”
