I have loved that ancient adage
For as long as I can remember
'Love Lives Here'
It speaks to me of warmth
Of affection, of depth, of raw vulnerability
Of joy... unspeakable
Boundless.
I have come to learn lately
That not many Truths exist
More accurate than this beautiful adage
Love Lives Here
Because right Here
Is where our Father is
Fully taking up residence in our heart
Transforming the ordinary into Holy Ground
So...with a relentlessly seeking heart
I sit still and search within
and there I find Him, I always do
I connect to that place
That Place of Dwelling
A most wonderful well
I reach within
Like one groping in obscurity
Feeling with their right hand
And there it is
My Father's Heart
A river, a smooth gliding River
Vibrating in every core of my being
Running over, Pouring over, Flowing over
Overwhelming, Healing, Beautifying
Strengthening, Glorifying, Abounding
A River that has been attested
To make glad the city of God
Calling me, inviting me, drawing me
To abide, to abide...to abide
I nuzzle in
I let the River flow
I let the River flow
...I let the River flow.
