0625 留在我的同在里
谢谢你如此寻求我，谢谢你屡次选择留在我的同在里，而没有让那些纷扰的事偷走你的心。没有一个敬拜和委身的时刻会被忽略，你的心每一次向我靠近，在我眼中都是宝贵的。领受你的爱使我喜悦，看见你的心不断回转归向我，更是我的喜乐。我喜欢捕捉每一个试图悄悄潜入、破坏我们美好关系的细微纷扰。
我看见你的每一次挣扎，尽管有时你自己并未察觉。当你哭泣的时候，我一直与你同在，并收藏每一滴眼泪。当你降服下来俯伏在我宝座前的时候，我知晓你每一次的呼吸——你每一声内心的叹息。我也知道你有怀疑的时候，当灵魂的争战反倒使你变得更坚强时，我与天使一同起舞。谢谢你倚靠我，谢谢你在恐惧试图赢得你认同时，仍然选择信靠。亲爱的，这些我全都看见了。此刻，我又看见你再次向我伸出手来；谢谢你的爱。
你是我的鸽子，隐藏在裂开的磐石中。是我带领你，把你高举藏在天上那隐秘的阶梯。让我看见你光彩照人的面容，听见你甜美的声音。你敬拜的眼眸何其美丽，你祷告的声音何其悦耳。——雅歌 2:14
0625 Remain in my presence.
Thank you for the way you have sought me. For the many times you chose to remain in my presence, instead of allowing distractions to steal your heart. Not one moment of devotion is ever unnoticed. Every movement of your heart toward me is precious in my sight. It delights me to receive your love. It is my joy to see your continual turning toward me. I love catching every little distraction that tries to sneak in and ruin our beautiful relationship.
I’ve seen your every struggle, though at times you didn’t notice. I have been with you when you cried, and I hold each tear. I know each breath–each sigh of your heart as you bow before my throne in surrender. I know the times you’ve doubted. I’ve danced with the angels when the battle for your soul only made you stronger. Thank you for depending on me, for trusting when fear fought for your agreement. Beloved, I’ve seen it all. And I see you now, reaching out to me again. Thank you for your love.
You are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock. It was I who took you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky. Let me see your radiant face and hear your sweet voice. How beautiful your eyes of worship and lovely your voice in prayer. — SONG OF SONGS 2:14
