It was one of those days.
You know the kind:
where you barely have one moment to yourself, yet you feel completely alone.
oh there’s lots to be done, places to go, people to see, things to do, decisions to make, yet it all feels senseless and stiff.
and there’s a hole that feels inexplicably deep and wide right in the middle of your heart, but nothing on hand to fill it and noone who can sew it up tight… just emptiness.
Well, maybe you don’t know – it is possible that I’m the only one.
So, as the day was coming to a close, while I was doing the supper dishes and listening to music, the very best possible song came on and lit up my kitchen. It was as though Abba Father chose to sing this song directly to my heart in a perfectly beautiful and tender tone. His words to me were clear, almost like a lullaby a Daddy might whisper to his little daughter; it was so soft and sweet, that all I could do was stand there next to the sink, my hands raised to the Heavens, waiting for His embrace.
And with the words of this song, He reminded me of what I needed to hear most:
“Come To Me”
I am the Lord your God, I go before you now
I stand beside you, I’m all around you
Though you feel I’m far away, I’m closer than your breath
I am with you, more than you know
I am the Lord your peace, no evil will conquer you
Steady now your heart and mind, come into My rest
Oh, let your faith arise, lift up your weary head
I am with you wherever you go
Come to Me, I’m all you need.
Come to Me, I’m everything
Come to Me, I’m all you need.
Come to Me, I’m your everything
I am your anchor, in the wind and the waves
I am your steadfast, so don’t be afraid
Though your heart and flesh may fail you, I’m your faithful strength
I am with you wherever you go
Don’t look to the right or to the left but keep your eyes on Me
You will not be shaken, you will not be moved ooh
I am the hand to hold, I am the truth, I am the way
Just come to Me, come to Me, cause I’m all that you need
After those few moments with my Father, my heart was prepared for a new day. The truth is, every time I draw close to Him, I’m reminded that in the middle of my “every day”, He really is all I need.
And it is in that place I find rest.
