A Presence So Immense

This Presence is so immense, yet so humble;

awe-inspiring yet so gentle;

limitless, yet so intimate, tender and personal.

I know that I am known.

Everything in my life is transparent in this Presence.

It knows everything about me

– all my weaknesses, brokenness, sinfulness

– and still loves me infinitely.

This Presence is healing, strengthening, refreshing

– just by its Presence.

It is nonjudgmental, self-giving,

seeking no reward,

boundless in compassion.

It is like coming home to a place I should never have left,

to an awareness that was somehow always there,

but which I did not recognize.
