I hear you speaking in the stillness of my heart. My mind has quieted and my faith is secure. You are here with me and in this place of peace, nothing else matters.
Too often my mind flutters in different directions, leading me away from you. But I'm learning, Lord. I won't let these little foxes steal from me any longer. I choose you. This is where I belong—in the place where every part of me is consumed with the reality of your holy presence.
Your nearness is intoxicating. Your peace is all-consuming. I feel as if I'm standing barefoot in a wide open field with soft grass beneath my feet, a gentle breeze lifting my hair, and the warm sun melting away confusion. I never want to leave. I want to remain in the silence of its uncluttered comfort.
I've decided I won't leave. I won't allow my mind to lead where my heart doesn't want to go. I will plant myself firmly in your love and make it my constant meditation. Even when fires are burning all around me, passionate praise will lead me back to you.
