His Presence

His Presence
I can sense the new day dawning
As my love slowly peels off my night’s covering-
 	the blanket of comfort and rest.
My love is gentle, but
He awakens me urgently
Least the cares of yesterday
Lurking at the bedroom door
Steal my heart 
Leaving Him yearning for my first attention
Again!

My eyelids flutter
My first thoughts are of Him
I can feel his powerful presence
I nestled closer into his strong arms
Deeply inhaling his sweet savour
It’s like heaven
My heart soars as his aura fills my being
I turn ever so gently in his arms
Soft warmth permeates my being
I remember the night’s events
All the turmoil and pain
I can still hear his tender voice whispering
“I will keep you in perfect peace”
His breath caressing me as He whispered again
“You will lie down and sleep and wake again my love
For I will keep you safe and sustain you”

I burst forth with inner praises
Ignoring the stirrings of the others 
These mornings belong to me and my love
After all,
Isn’t this the reason for the containment?
No more excuses to dash out of bed
Barely a good morning kiss
He needs and has my full attention
He did say that He is a jealous one
And that I should have no other beside Him

So I laze in his presence
Just to be filled with his essence
Now I am strengthened
I kneel at my bedside, 
Overwhelmed with unspeakable gratitude 
I do not deserve such attention
So I give him all my adoration
As I say,
“Thank you Heavenly Father
Your Presence is everything to me!”
