As I sit, my heart pulled in so many directions, your peace somehow sill covers me. I woke up 2 1/2 hours before my alarm would go off. I had no other reason to be up other than to feel your touch. As I went about my morning, folding clean laundry, washing dirty laundry, taking out the trash, turning in expenses for my team, I realized I had this still morning to do these things with you. Before anyone else was awake.
While some mornings feeling your love is sitting still in your presence, this morning feeling your love was doing the mundane routines of this world with you by my side.
My heart has been torn, but my spirit hasn’t wavered. This world has pulled me in every direction, but you, O Lord, have steadied my feet. Confusion has flooded my thoughts, but you have brought clarity to my mind. Chaos swarms around me, but still, in the quiet of my soul, you sit with me. It is not a place we come to meet, but a place we permanently abide.
This world doesn’t always make sense to me, honestly it rarely does, but in my opinion, that’s where the beauty lies in trusting my Father. Not only is the confusion a reminder of my need for him, but it’s one more opportunity for me to say, “I choose you.”
