My Deep Place

Meet Me In Your Deep Place.  Six words I heard.  Deep awe and reverence.  When I'm in my deep place I feel God.  He meets me there. Its probably much like your deep place.  That space you go to feel Him.  Maybe its early when you wake, or when the last babe is down to sleep, you go to that space on your worn out couch or the spot that finds you resting, and you sit in His presence awaiting something good.  That's your deep place.  

 "Oh Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.  You know when I sit down or stand up.  You know my thoughts even when I am far away.  You see me when I travel and when I rest at home.  You know everything I do.  You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.  You go before me and follow me.  You place your hand of blessing on my head.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand.  I can never escape from your spirit,  I can never get away from your presence."
- Psalm 139:1-7

      My deep place is a cool, gray chair.  With a colored pillow and a striped blanket draped across.  A basket of books beside.  I wake when the suns still sleeping and find my way to that soft spot.  I close my eyes and wait.  Tell Him I'm there now and write the same two words across my journal as I do every time, "Good-morning, God."  My words begin to flow across the pages as I tell Him the things in my heart.  

"Then I pray to you, O Lord.  I say, You are my place of refuge.  You are all I really want in life."
-Psalm 142:5

A deep place.  Where I know He understands me.  My deep place.  I can sense His voice.  My words overflow as if He is my fountain and He fills me with living water and I can't keep it in.  

Oh Lord, I love you.  

Your heart is so beautiful.  When I think about your depth of love I relax and my focus narrows to your smile and the world darkens around me.  You're so beautiful. 

You are understanding.  And you listen.  You are a friend that knows just what to say.  If I come to You, You never rush me. You speak life into the crevices of my soul.  

Let's sit here together awhile.  I’ll rest my head against your shoulder and Your arm around me.  Then You'll sway me back and forth like a Father with His dearly loved child.  A child He planned and hoped for.  A dream of His come to fruition.  I'm so calm inside Your arms.  Its so peaceful here with You. 

Holy Spirit, fill me so full I can’t contain You. Make me a light to others I meet.  May the person in front of me be the most important person.  Make me love.  Your love.

Jesus, You’re beautiful. I love how You lead me.  I love how you speak.  Your words leave me in anticipation and warmth.  I love that You see me as who I'm becoming, not how much work is left to do.  That's who You are, Lord.  You're life.  You’re kindness.

There is no place I would rather be.  You are part of me.  You are my one thing. You are my home.

So, here’s my deep place, Lord.  I’m here to serve You.  I’m here to obey You.  

Oh Lord, I give my life to You.
~Psalm 25:1

I’ll share my deep place.
