Pages from My Journal ~

Thank you, God, for this day.
I am worthy of your love, and in this season, I have come to know it deeply.
Yet how is it so easy to lose sight of your love in the autonomy of this world?
I wear independence fiercely. It’s a badge of honor. But it might be that my independence has been the very trait that causes the most distance.
Aha, maybe.
Maybe that’s what you meant by bridging the gap, narrowing the space, shortening not only the distance that I feel—but that we feel—in this world.
And when I visualize it, I realize that may be why I tend to linger so long in my time with you each morning.
Closing up the abyss.
