You Speak

I see my reflection and it is double;
You standing with me
You Speak

I study the word revise and
think of how you are fine tuning me
You Speak

My boy makes a silly face
and in his laughter I get lost
in my love for him
You Speak

Auntie sends me a devotion just in
the right moment
You Speak

Listening to Mozart
I feel your peace
You speak

My husband says,
Don't give up
You Speak

In prayer for my friend
I feel your presence
You Speak

My girl sings with all
her heart
You Speak

The wind brushing against trees,
making the leaves dance
You Speak

A butterfly flutters so briefly across
my path
You Speak

The joy I feel when I teach
You Speak

In his love
You Speak

I let go of bitterness, I forgive
You Speak

God has been showing up for me in such special ways this week. I felt inspired to write a poem about how He Speaks to me. The challenge for me of course, is when I'm not feeling His presence. There are those times that I clearly feel like He isn't there and doesn't care about what happens in my life. But those are just my feelings of despair. God is always with us. And I learned so much this past year about His presence and truly Trusting His ways. As I spend more time centering my heart on God, I see Him speaking to me in the smallest ways. And in these small ways there is a joy that is difficult to explain. All I can think is that I am experiencing a very little piece of His Awesome presence. Which makes me wonder how much more awesome it will be when we are fully with God in Heaven. And as I live out my life day to day: I want to be clothed in His radiant presence, listening to Him, seeking Him, and fully living for Him.
