Listening to the Lord’s heartbeat
My head on his chest
When I cannot find the rhythm
Of my own life
When all is storming
Uncertain
Chaotic
Ever-changing
I lean in to his heart
His rhythm soothes me
It is a gentle lapping
Of waves on the shore
The hum of near-silent wings
Overhead
A warm breeze
Lulling into rest
Wooing into rest
Rest
Is what
The heart
Yearns for.

Just got your post 12/6/22 and I’m reading your poems. Thank you they’re truly inspiring and in our devotions today we’re reading Romans 15:5,7 TPT
“Now may God, the source of great endurance and comfort, grace you with unity among yourselves, which flows from your relationship with Jesus, the Anointed One.
V.7 You will bring God glory when you accept and welcome one another as partners, just as the Anointed One has fully accepted you and received you as his partner.”
