There was a cloud
Of such deep longing
I could no longer see your Face,
But I did think I heard the beating of your heart,
Following it, I lay my head upon your breasts and found
Such bliss that words cannot describe.
*Brian K. Wilcox, December 2005
Love Letter From God
I’m seeking kindly to pull you with the ropes of my Love to a place you’ve never been. I know you’re afraid, but I'm with you to calm your fears. If you'll be still and quiet, like a lover leaning upon her beloved in silent repose, I'll give you consolation and assurance. Listen to your heart, for I'll put the desire there to follow my will. And my will is not something that will contradict who you are, for I never want you to deny your true self to do anything. I never coerce you, rather, I gently woo you, for I respect you highly and adore you. I know you cannot see the future, but you can see the past. You see how often I've provided a way when it seemed there would be no way. You see how each time you trusted me that I came through for you, even in the most difficult and confusing times. You see that often you had to go through these times to be led to where I knew you would be most joyful. Simply trust me. When you need to act, I'll enable you to act. When you need to be still and wait, I'll give you grace to do so. And do not forget what is most important, and that is that I love you dearly. Call on me at anytime; be assured, I listen, and I love to hear your voice.
Yours Truly,
God
