the sweet smell of a Soul Mate
Seems like most of the time I come to God with the "Sorry again" line. I know there is the prayer formula of Adoration/ Thanksgiving/ Petitions/ Admissions/ and Closure (paraphrased) but that just seems so trite to have a "formula." Anyway something new this evening/morning has come over me. I can't sleep. And it's not because I am anxious or that I need something or that I have to confess. It's just that I get the sense God wants to be with me. I can practically sense Him calling. And not to scold me or warn me or command me...just to hold me and hear my voice and be near. It is a sense that He is pleased with me and where I am at this moment. I am seeking Him and listening to His word through an audio weblink which has been great...but to think I am no longer just reading about the God in the vast deep dark cosmos, but growing in awareness of the presence of the Lord who cares deeply for me and wants my company. I do love Him for He has given me this breath that I might offer it back to Him, but let me do it with love, gratefulness, humility, and joy...that my breath might be a sweet smelling incense that is infused with the savory scent of His Son's perfect sacrifice. Praise Him! Love Him. Be with Him forever, My Lord, My God, Abba!
