Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

THIS MOMENTS PRESENCE OF YOU

HOW IS IT THAT YOU RISE IN MY SOUL...EVEN AS THE SUN BREAKS THROUGH A RAGING STORM?

HOW IS IT, THAT THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND IS LIKE A WARM EMBRACE...OR THE WIND THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE, COME AND GONE...LEAVING ME MORE ALIVE THAN EVER BEFORE?

PROMISE AFTER PROMISE...YOU REMAIN...YOU WAIT...YOU RESTORE.

I AM SATISFIED IN YOUR KEEPING

I AM LOST WITHOUT THIS MOMENTS PRESENCE OF YOU

MY THOUGHTS RUN FROM ONE TO THE NEXT...

"LORD, LORD...EVEN MY GOD."

MY BREATHING IN, MY BREATHING OUT

THEN I GASP FOR AIR WHEN I CAN'T HEAR YOUR VOICE...

WHEN I CAN'T TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF YOUR WORD...YOUR UNMISTAKABLE WORD...

THE LIFE GIVING SOURCE OF MY BEING

THE JOY OF MY SALVATION

MY ONE TRUE LOVE.
