It was never meant that any should take His place. For He must be first…in all things and in all ways. Every relationship must rest under His headship first…every desire must be 2nd to His…every longing must be weaker than the longing to be with Him..and every daily to-do must be less important than the work He has called forth. For our human minds are filled with temporal things while His is full of eternal things. One day we will understand fully the difference.
Oh, you are my Father
The lover of my soul
My gifted Creator
To whom I’m betrothed.
My sweet revelator
With such gentle voice
My deep inner longing
The dew that falls moist.
How can I so thank thee
Words seem to fail
For in my present weakness
Your Spirit prevails
The presence of Glory
In secret alone
Bathes me with singing
Drawing me home.
