Dear God,

My heart longs for you all day long.  Whether I am full or empty, my mind wanders toward you.  Whether I am doubtful or confident, my spirit wants to share with you.  Whether I am brave or afraid, I want to be near you.  How did this happen, O God?

Did you give me a new heart?  A new spirit?  A new mind?  When did my whole being realize I wanted you more than I wanted anything else?  Did my losses create it?  My hurts?  My rejections?   Am I that lonely that I needed a companion I could always count on?  Or was, is it pure grace?

There is

no greater

loving power

than yours,

O God.

There is

no dwelling place

like yours.

There is

no more 

permanent home

than yours.

Thank you

for inviting me in.

Yours, Andrea
