He waits..

The sun streams in through the glass doors
warming my chair

inviting me
inticing me.

It seems as if I sit there for a long time 
quietly..with my eyes closed
 soaking in the comforting rays.

I begin to pray..
He begins to speak

'It's been too long, don't you think?'

I sense the pleading under-tone in His voice.

Too long, Lord? But didn't I talk to You just yesterday?

'Yes...and  I've been waiting for you ever since.'

Waiting?!
He's been waiting.. for me?

Shame covers my face at the thought.

And in the Light I see the intensity of His gaze
set steadfast on my soul

looking with such longing
as to tear my heart in two again

just like yesterday

*
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
Today, if you hear his voice do not harden your hearts...
Psalm 95:6-8

  1. Beautiful Trish! We were just saying at our Community meeting yesterday that he is waiting for us...anticipating our presence during our prayer time. How wonderful to know He waits even when we forget.~Theresa
