Sometimes, my introspection can get me into trouble. Leading me down paths where my thoughts should never venture to go. But, every now and then that introspection leads to a good soul sweeping, inventory taking, time with my Creator. It saddens my heart to know that many days I shun this time with Him. Faithful. He never fails to whisper the words that melt my soul and collapse the walls I have been so diligent to build.
It's during those times, during this time, that I see the only worthy thing in life is to know my God. All of life springs forth from knowing Him.
It's during this time I stand bare and vulnerable. My desires slip from my grasp and lay at my feet.
It's during this time that I see the canyon that divides me from the Spirit. How did a canyon come from what I though was only a trickle of water in my life? Slowly and over time. Crying out over the distance to be heard. He whispers back.
It's during this time that the ash of mourning is wiped from my face to reveal the glow of Aaron. The glow of time spent with God.
It's during this time that Jesus picks up those things I held so dearly. Open handed, He extends an invitation to hold my desires with Him. Hesed.
