“Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.” James 4:8

————————-

NIGH

In the silence, I sense the heartbeat of God.

This is my time of listening.

My prayer is over,

and in the hush of waiting for His reply to my soul,

I bask in the awe of His love,

and the peace

with which He covers me.

There is no place sweeter than this place

close to Him.

He fills my mind with thoughts from Him.

I want only to stay here

in this fellowship of joy.

His love is my strength,

my breath,

my being,

my reason to live.

This holy time,

this quiet place,

this boundless love

is only found

in the closeness

of my God.
