A Moment

It is a moment.

Deeper than music and more profound than lyrics, it is a moment where Soul and Spirit collide, breath matches beat and skin writhes and bumps.  The voices of those around you fade into the moment, clarity and joy, perfect worship.  Your Soul raises itself, wrapping arms around Spirit, who has never, will never, let go.  Harmony, peace, erupting as the music soars into the final chorus...

and then,

with a shuddering gasp of breath,

the music ends.

And you fall.  Back into the body that holds you, the nature that eyes you greedily, the mind ever contrary. Joy is replaced with longing and Soul sighs, losing its grip while Spirit, ever steady, whispers "soon my child, soon."

It is a moment where heaven opens and you commune with Him, but it is only a moment, and too soon - your Soul trapped in this body - it is gone. 

But now you are addicted. Every thread of your being seeking to glorify Him so that you may one day sit in his presence and find the joy, the peace, the love, that never ends. The feeling that wont go away.  And He is deserving. Oh so worthy. Of all that I can give. 

Lord help me to glorify you. Raise me up so that I may better see and understand your will, your love, your peace and joy. Give me that hope, remind me daily of your grace.

Thank you father.

Amen.

Dedication

For the One who spoke, and in His words was life and breath; for the One who spoke and in his words is life for us all.

May my words help separate the darkness from the light, that He might proclaim "well done, good and faithful servant."

I am a work in progress, but the work is all for Him.
