Today, at this moment, I’m a million miles away. There is no death, no destruction. I’m surrounded as if in a bubble. A  bubble of peace and tranquility. No one, or nothing, can bother me here. In this place, I have everything I need. I have things that no human being can give. As I look around I see water and sun. I feel the warmth of that sun on my face and body. It’s warm, like a blanket. On my feet is the gentle sloshing of water and sand, while the wind whips through my hair and clothes. It’s a strong solid wind, Not too hard, not too soft, just solid and strong.

Then I began to think …

I often think that I can find what I need outside of myself. I think that when and if I achieve my goals, or have the perfect relationship, then I will be happy. But, I’m finding that happiness is really only with God at the helm of my life, and in my heart. Everything else is just a counterfeit substitute.

This entire experience happened right in my own home. This was a vision that I got spending time with God, my secret place as we call it, with the lord. I went to my special place that only he can touch, and whisper things to me that only he can know. This life is so temporary. This life has its great moments, but, it’s nothing compared to the life that’s ahead!

Don’t wait another day to draw closer to him! 

Take a moment and meditate on this beautiful psalm as you spend time with the Lord today.

“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.”
— Psalm 27:4
