| Light breaks through! |
Solitude calls to me, causes a yearning that draws me to search out places of quiet where all other voices and intrusive noises give way to the deeper sighing and whispering of the soul.
I'm not one for many words. Mostly I 'feel' - internally - and sometimes these feelings are expressed by sound - not necessarily words. Melodies and tunes escape my lips as songs rise in my heart in response to the drawing and wooing of the Spirit of God.
So often I find myself in tears, or simply silent, as I am overwhelmed one more time by the wonder of being truly loved by the One who made me. Knowing that I am both fully known and fully loved is incredibly freeing! Free to follow my heart, free to explore and try, free to fail and try again - and again.
I love solitude and, in the words of one of the most beautiful pieces of music I discovered recently, just 'passing time with Jesus'. Not in work or striving or begging or pleading, but simply being with Him. I love that!
My soul finds rest, joy, peace, refreshing, new hope and my heart is warmed by the touch of His love - all in His presence. What a wonder. Why would I not take time to escape into His arms more? I will! This is my new biggest goal...to be in His presence - whether alone or in a crowd, at home or in the gathered church, in the light or dark places of life - I will strive to stay in this place of rest, His beautiful presence.
