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

THE SOUL'S ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR ONE MORE EMBRACE



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.

I'M ALWAYS AMAZED AT HOW YOU SHEPHERD THE DAY.

AT BREAKFAST, MR MOSES AND I DISCUSSED THE DISCONTENT WE FEEL SO MUCH OF THE TIME...

WHY?

WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR...WE LACK NOTHING...WE ENJOY EACH OTHER...LOVE EACH OTHER...SHARE YOU TOGETHER...WE ENJOY OUR RETIREMENT TOGETHER...

WHY?

ALL THROUGH THE DAY I ASK MYSELF THIS QUESTION...

AND IT COMES DOWN TO THIS...FOR ME, LORD

MY SOUL IS ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR ONE MORE EMBRACE...THE FEEL OF THE YOUR LOVING ARMS ENFOLDING ME...

THAT (((KNOWING OF YOU)))...THAT REST THAT COMES FROM YOUR ALL ABIDING PRESENCE...

THAT JOY THAT IS UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF YOUR GLORY...NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES...BUT THAT WHICH IS FOUND IN YOU, AND YOU ALONE...

BLESSED ARE YOUR EVERLASTING ARMS...

"EMBRACE ME LORD"

"EMBRACE ME LORD."
