Retreat

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint...( Jeremiah 31:25)

Come to Me, Precious Daughter, and drink,
For My water is living and sweet.
I can see that you are parched and thirsty,
Your spirit longs for a holy retreat.

I moved mountains to bring you to this place,
I softened hearts to get you here.
I ordained this day before the world began,
Now, let Me make My will for you clear.

Who do you say that I am, Dear One?
Who do you need Me to be?
Why do you think I brought you here?
What does your heart long to see?

Open your eyes and look for Me,
Listen for My voice and hear;
I’ve invited you to come and sit with Me,
Sshhh...My message is clear.

Ever so gently, you’ll hear My voice,
As I draw you back and through;
See, I've been here all along, Child
It wasn’t I who moved, but you.

Be still and remember who I am, Sweet Girl,
Come sit at My feet a while;
Take a deep breath and let your spirit listen,
Soon your heart will once again smile.

Surrender your heart and will to Me,
Trust Me, I’ll do My part;
When you seek Me you will find Me, Precious One,
When you seek Me with all of your heart.

Overflowing and ever-so-thankful,
