Ref's ~

At my lowest, I sought shelter in the quiet mercies of God. In the chaos, I sought strength in His gentle voice. I have been here a thousand times before. This little secret place where He and I meet. In the rain, in the shine, He never fails to show up for me. Some nights, I leave this world behind to find Him. Some days, I wake up at dawn because He found me. There is strength here in the envelope of His presence. There is warmth in His breath when He speaks to me. But in the past few days, I have felt His sorrow. There is love in His tears when He cries. There is a longing in His broken heart, and here under the shadow of His wings, as the branches dance, as the leaves rustle, as the wind whistles, my heart breaks too. I will show up for Him. I will show up for the ones His heart breaks for.
