In His Presence


By Marcia K. Leaser

October 18, 2011

  Frightened...

         I ran to the only one I knew could be trusted.

             Wounded and weary...

         I drew near -

             sharing all.

         In His presence, there was no condemnation    

             No guilt or shame for what had been.

         There was no past, no future... only now.

             Just us, and where we stood with each other.

         I felt invisible - like I was nothing at all,

             and yet so very important.

         To know I was loved

             was all that mattered.

 

  Careworn...

         I ran to the only one I knew I could talk to.

             Even though I knew He knew all -

         I needed to unburden my soul

             for my sake.

         Feeling so small... yet big -

             so weak... yet strong.

         I stumbled boldly up to Him,

             and in a voice trembling with confidence,

         I whispered loudly.

             "Lord, I need to talk with You."

         To know He was listening,

             was all that mattered.
