oh that I might know the Lord
let me press on to know Him
He will respond to me
as surely as the arrival
of dawn or the coming of
rains in early spring
Hosea 6:3
oh how this verse jumped off the page
this heart beating was grabbed
a heart crying out
a heart longing
a heart waiting
anticipating
bowing low
pressing
closer
closer
to the One
who answers sure
for the beating of
a heart humble
a heart searching
dawn follows night
daylight follows dawn
dusk follows daylight
night follows dusk
and the pattern
unceasing continues
as set in motion
by the One who created
sun and moon and stars
seasons set in motion
with a whisper
spring rains gentle falling
each drop witness to
promises steadfast
.jpg)
a heart seeking
a heart longing
a heart pressing
to know His own heart
no greater gift
no greater love
exists than this...
the One who knew
each heart before
time began
the One whom the angels
worship as they cry
"Holy, Holy, Holy"
the One who holds the universe
in the palm of His nail-pierced hand
that same palm on which each heart's
name is etched in love forever...
this same Jesus
tenderly listens to every word
be it spoken
be it unspoken
be it through speech
be it through tears
He hears
He responds
prayer in its truest form...
a dialogue unceasing
between
the created
and
the Creator
oh that I might know the Lord!
