Seeing You in Me

I caught sight of You again today, beloved.

This time it was from within me.

Whereas normally I see You in others,

I actually glimpsed You in my fibers —

working actively with my intention,

with my very beating heart,

tenderly leading me.

as any Father would a cherished child.

I encountered You, and I am laid low.

I dare not ever elevate myself,

for vessels such as I are sorely vexed apart from You;

I cannot live even one moment

away from Your sight,

away from Your Presence.

I thank You for being

all the best parts of me,

for showing me Love without condition,

for humbling me when I boast,

and for lifting me when I kneel.

For taking my impatience

and tempering it with wisdom,

for teaching me even when I’m too stubborn to listen.

I thank You for stalling my anger

to give Your mercy time to shine,

and finally I thank You for

reminding me You’re always with me.

Love,

Dust
