Rare God-Places

Am I a waiter or a warrior, a visionary, or wall watcher? Am I a strategist or fighting activist? Sometimes, I feel that I'm just a nesting dove. Perhaps at any given season, I'm all the above. If we care enough to share in the intimate places with God, we must dare to breathe that great and rare air of God. . Come with me to a world of questions and mysteries. Allow me to muse my way into some unpleasant places; Places of craving for the face of God but finding no trace. I speak not of people wearing holy halos or holy Joes. I'm talking about Ordinary Mary and Everyday John going about Their routine lives with a longing desire for a God-centered life. You may not concur; yours may be a different world, Or perhaps you've never ventured into the murky waters Of your soul as have I. Anyway, this place is real. On occasions, my soul longs to see, to hear, to feel, To touch and be touched, to sense and taste God In unusual, yet Biblical ways. That longing, that deep desire of which I speak is not always or should I say, is seldom reciprocated. It could also be that I get distracted and fail to recognize God's reply. Am I making sense so far, or am I stranded On an island alone? Anyway, the sign I long to see is a 'no show', And it seems that God hides himself from me, for my good of course. It's when the voice, the sounds I expect to hear are not there or so faint and distant as to not be useful. Or when God is silent, or so it seems. Or when I do not feel Him or His Presence, and/or in fact, none of my sensory faculties are in tune sufficiently to benefit. My best guess is that we are in "a trust only zone" where we feel at our lowest, but in reality, there is that side of us being informed that we are experiencing our finest hour. I tell you, this present muse was inspired by a conversation last night with close friends. We concluded that we, whether dove or warrior, are always benefactors of his love because God is faithful, and in His time, he makes all things beautiful. 092720PSCtest, Completely Your Choice(33), Brian Strand Contest entry11220, HM's and NA's October 2020, C.
