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.
