The Place of Wonder

I open my eyes to find myself standing in the beautiful expanse of answered prayer. This is the place of freedom where dreams come true. You illuminate the dark places with the radiant splendor of your face. You lavish your undying love upon me until I can barely speak.

Yes, this is the place of reverent wonder where I’m struck silent, amazed at your faithfulness and humbled by my lack of patience. Forgive me for thinking you deserted me.

Tears of love soak my face as I ponder how wonderful you are. You’ve come through once again. All you require is a sincere heart that loves you—a radiant lover who honors you and worships you even in the hardest of times. To this one, you pour out blessings that astound us. You surprise us with treasure that you’ve been storing up all along.

Lord, I pray for those who are as weary as I was. Strengthen them with courage and overshadow them with your glorious presence as they wait for you.
