To be Loved

To Be Loved

As I was sitting in the park, I closed my eyes and tried to see my surroundings...yes I know what you are thinking....

But I used my other senses.... I could hear the fountain behind me.... the water shooting up in the air and falling with a gentle splash...I heard the leaves dance across the sidewalk and imagined that they were bright orange and fiery red. Could smell the damp ground underneath me, smell the freshly cut grass hinting to it lush green color... I could see all of this as if I were looking onto a canvas as a painter who was painting a giant picture.

These are the moments I live for, that I thirst for! When I can see my creator without opening my eyes.... by sitting in the hush and letting my heart and soul take over.

“I have been driven many times to my knees by the
overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go.
My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed
insufficient for the day."
~Abraham Lincoln

Christ longs for us to live in his arms.... to whisper to us things that are scarred. He longs to wipe the tears and ease the pressures of our mundane lives.... when we seek him in silence, our hearts are softened and our minds are cleared. Joy is restored and reassurance is planted. Grasp at His words or marvel at His glory. Lie at his feet or climb on His lap, listen to His breath and be captivated by who He is and who He wants to you be.

SO........

Sit...listen, fall in love and be loved! Close your eyes and let Him take you away, search your inner being and learn who He wants you to be. Dream big, dare to live! Shine bright and fulfill your call.

Sit, listen, dream, imagine, and Love. Let Him capture you and search you, fill you and cleanse you!
