Heartbeat

I discover your heartbeat 

in the midst of my chaotic universe

my now that is spinning out of control

I hear the sound  

the synchronized  steady pounding assuring me 

that You are near.

I rest my head against You

relieved to know You still have breath.

My breathing is labored 

I have had to run hard

it seems I have been thrown to the wolves

I pant as the deer who is searching for brooks of fresh water.

Then I hear the sound

the sound of a steady heart

a heart resting

it brings a calming assurance to my soul

and I find rest

in the refuge of Your loving embrace.

My heart finds peace knowing I am yoked with You ...

  1. Oh Cheri...so powerful. Last night I was sharing some struggles with a friend and she kept reminding me to breathe.

    Listening for the sound of His heartbeat and letting my head rest against His embrace.

    Thank you my friend for this encouragement,
    Hugs,
    Joy
