Fears and Tears

I sit in silence, and ponder what the Lord has said to me. My heart is overwhelmed by the great love of the Lord during this most sacred time of the year. Every year of the Lenten season, followed by the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord, I experience something different and new. I feel the Lord calling me deeper into relationship, as I listen to His words. The words He spoke long ago that echo now in my being. A continual call to love and serve while abiding with the Lord. A call to put my trust completely into the Father’s hands at all times.

And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold He is here. St. Augustine

The words do not come of what I experienced this year, but manifested as a great flowing of tears – water and salt, which spoke to my soul as if poured forth from Heaven by the Holy Spirit into the deepest recesses of my heart. An encounter of what He said, my Lord; to me, His daughter; a moment that stood still and seemed to be outside of time laced with a sweet smell of roses. I listen and follow with great joy as I continue forward in the beautiful Easter season, to what He said, and the words continually echo in my breath and in my heartbeat of the great love of God.

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us. St. Augustine
