0625 留在我的同在里
謝謝你如此尋求我，謝謝你屢次選擇留在我的同在里，而沒有讓那些紛擾的事偷走你的心。沒有一個敬拜和委身的時刻會被忽略，你的心每一次向我靠近，在我眼中都是寶貴的。領受你的愛使我喜悅，看見你的心不斷迴轉歸向我，更是我的喜樂。我喜歡捕捉每一個試圖悄悄潛入、破壞我們美好關係的細微紛擾。
我看見你的每一次掙扎，儘管有時你自己並未察覺。當你哭泣的時候，我一直與你同在，並收藏每一滴眼淚。當你降服下來俯伏在我寶座前的時候，我知曉你每一次的呼吸——你每一聲內心的嘆息。我也知道你有懷疑的時候，當靈魂的爭戰反倒使你變得更堅強時，我與天使一同起舞。謝謝你倚靠我，謝謝你在恐懼試圖贏得你認同時，仍然選擇信靠。親愛的，這些我全都看見了。此刻，我又看見你再次向我伸出手來；謝謝你的愛。
你是我的鴿子，隱藏在裂開的磐石中。是我帶領你，把你高舉藏在天上那隱秘的階梯。讓我看見你光彩照人的面容，聽見你甜美的聲音。你敬拜的眼眸何其美麗，你禱告的聲音何其悅耳。——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
