Sunset In Jerusalem

How many more sunsets until You set sail for me? How many more nights of restlessness? I long for my King. I yearn for my heart to be scooped up into my Savior's arms and high tail it off this planet. I smell the most eloquent scents in my spirit for the Marriage Supper Banquet. Even the majestic palms outside the Damascus Gate dance with excitement. The wind moves my hair and the birds gleefully sing. It's as though I am the only one here energized for Your coming. Why aren't there festivals in the streets? Why aren't there balloons and banners celebrating the return of the King? The chants from prayer towers are heard in the distance. No one on this planet can steal the joy of this moment. The ecstasy of this sunset. Shades of coral against a clear turquoise sky. Sitting here worshiping my King. The reason for my existence. gwendolen rix 8-6-14
