One of the most beautiful photographs of sunrise on the sea taken by a profound and astonishing photographer.

Sea gull soars over pelican who caught a fish, hoping for a lost morsel from the catch in the Gulf of Mexico

There is no greater beauty than the sea, the sound of the surf relaxes and soothes the soul,

Sea breezes enchant and delight the senses, salt water refreshes and heals the broken heart,

Soaring horizon clouds and ocean view lures the spirit into harmony with God and eternity.

Imagination unites taking flight with the seagulls on the winds of the tide.

Rose petals dance in the blue misty sea breeze romance, enticing ships to sail for paradise!

sea birds of the Gulf Coast who died in helpless agony from the oil disaster,

they now soar in glorious epiphany like an ode to the sea, those who died soar in our hearts forever on God's Celestial Sea.

Our God will protect us by covering us with His Feathers and under His wings we shall take refuge, as stated in Psalm 91: the Lord will place us in His nest, high above the enemy, like a mother or father cares and protects their young children or offspring.

He is like an eagle that protects their young on the highest, mountain top in the tallest tree inside a tender nest made with pure love.

Perfect love casts out fear. God is love! God loves those who have marred His beautiful world and creation together with its creatures and populations. He forgives you through His Son who shed His blood, suffered and died in your place for the sins that you have done against His Glorious creation and creatures.

Psalm 91

(New King James Version)

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
         Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
         My God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler^.
         And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
         And under His wings you shall take refuge;
         His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
         Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
         Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
         And ten thousand at your right hand;
         But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
         And see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
         Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
         Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
         To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
         Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
         The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
         I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
         I will be with him in trouble;
         I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
         And show him My salvation.”

Our prayers have taken flight on wings of love to God's heart who mourns the desolation of His beautiful creation. Our Father is recreating the ocean, land and the heavens.

We must unite with our Creator so we will be ready to enter His New Creation!

We must experience the ecstasy of being born again into His Kingdom so that we can experience His Love and Total Communion with His Holiness on Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem.

Ask Jesus to forgive your mistakes and to wash you clean with His springs of living water, causing a Fountain of Youth and Eternal Life to spring up within your life.

Jesus loves you and wants to clean your life from filth and restore you to wholeness and beauty. This can be done by asking the Lord to enter your life, to be your Savior. Ask Him to forgive your sins through His Shed Blood on the cross at Calvary. Ask Jesus to take control of your life, renew your mind and regenerate your body and spirit. The Spirit of the Lord will enter your heart and light the generator of His love inside your inner most being; the light of His Holy Temple, will flood your soul and He will make you whole.

You will be reunited with your Father, the Creator and walk again with Him in His Holy Garden of Eden. The Savior is waiting to enter your heart, He will make you clean like pure rivers of living water, He will flood your innermost being with peace, love and joy. You will be forgiven of your sins and will be given divine guidance that will put you on God's perfect path for your life and wisdom for daily living. You will once again commune with the Creator. His Creative Mind will merge with yours. There is no limit to what you can accomplish with God's power, strength, wisdom and help. Ask Jesus to give you help and strength to conquer and overcome the darkness, depression and guilt in your life.

Our God is unfathomable, He is beyond our understanding, He is a God of both love and wrath. I know for certain that our Lord hears and feels the pain and the suffering of the birds and sea life and those who have lost loved ones and income. Our God feels your pain and suffers with you. Our Father in Heaven loves everyone and He also chastises those whom He loves. May the Lord of Heaven and Earth forgive us and have mercy upon us. We have all fallen short of His Glory, it is time to fall on your knees and pray, thanking God that He has smiled his rays of hope and had mercy upon us.

May we learn from this disaster and make the necessary changes so that we can enjoy the American way of life to pursue freedom, happiness and liberty for all! The Lord has heard our prayers and He is in the process of restoring the Gulf of Mexico.

Jesus is cleaning the land and the sea with his tears of living water and reigns as Lord of Lords and King of Kings forever! Thy Kingdom Come! Thy Will be done! Jesus is coming again, no one knows the day or time except the Father in Heaven. As long as the earth and the heavens exist there will be seed time and harvest. We must work to plant seeds, so there will be a harvest. We must do our part to help save and restore His Creation, till Jesus comes! We cannot sit idly by, waiting, we must be ready to work to save the planet! In the beginning the Lord gave man dominion over the animals and the plants. It is our responsibility to clean the environment and protect the plant and animal life on earth, both land and sea. We must work with the Lord to clean the environment and ecosystems till Jesus comes. This is our heritage and destiny to take care of His Garden.

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you,

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God,

May the Lord, our God, help America and forgive our sins, fill us with Your Love, and teach us to forgive those who have sinned against us, so that You will forgive us.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Blue Heron, posted in memory of the sea birds lost in the Gulf oil disaster, 2010, Corpus Christi, Texas

      Our Father in heaven,
      Hallowed be Your name.
        Your kingdom come.
      Your will be done
      On earth as it is in heaven.
        Give us this day our daily bread.
        And forgive us our debts,
      As we forgive our debtors.
       And do not lead us into temptation,
      But deliver us from the evil one.
      For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13 (New King James Version)

"If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and shall seek My face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins and will heal their land."
