This tormenting spirit
The one that is too strong for me
The one that I have entertained for so long
I needed to get us out for a few minutes
A few snacks and hot chocolate in the warmth of the car
There was this beautiful choir singing to me through the radio
“I am standing…
In the need…
Of a blessing!”
And my thought was this,
God “is” the blessing
As I looked up through the front window of my car
From the parking lot
Through the wind and the trees
For the first time since it was erected
I really noticed the Cross
And its accompanying Star
It seemed especially beautiful in this very moment
As it shined so brightly in the dark of the night
It seemed to be speaking to me
And I knew I was still loved
And the Spirit of God spoke to me
Saying these words
“There is not one beyond my reach
And you,
My Beloved
Who are so close to my heart
I will never leave”
And today
I have learned faithfulness
What it means to really yearn
After the LORD
And to need HIS Word,
To long for HIS comfort
That no matter what temptation comes along
Nothing or no one can separate me from God’s love
