The Sky Painter

I ran out to see You this evening. 
To see the spectacular image that You painted just for me.
Every night it is something unique and designed with the greatest effects.
Splashes of love and compassion with the waning of a coral blue sky.
The perfect sunset to close out my day.
A glorious exclamation mark against varying crimson lights.
You are my Picasso as a stare up at the sunset.
I stand in awe and begin to sing you a lullaby.
I lift up my praise to the greatest Sky Painter of all time.
You are the Mighty King who longs to come back and sweep Your holy children off their feet.
You keep drawing us closer and closer to Your Heart each and every day.

I wonder as I stand here at dusk…
How many more sunsets until I get to look into Your eyes?
I know you are looking down from Your throne as I stand here in awe of Your perfect painting tonight.
