In His Presence

 Riding on the wings of Praise
 I got to the Throne Room of Grace
 Away from my worries and cares
 But surprisingly I wasn’t the only one there
 There were guards and messengers moving around at the Master’s service
 And there were also people waiting patiently to see the King of kings
  
 The room was huge and seemed to have no walls
 It was lustrous, however, I couldn’t find the source of the light
 The atmosphere was fresh and clean like springtime in the countryside
 Melodious music glided in the air wrapping me further in peace and joy
 Confirming the presence of the Holy Spirit
  
 No one seemed to notice me
 Apart from two guards that approached with fixed gaze 
 And threaten force and accuracy in their stride
 Each taking a stand on the left and right of me
 They urged me forward and the crowd parted as we moved
  
 As we approached the throne front
 I felt excitement rising inside me like water progressing to boiling point
 I wasn’t sure why until I saw Him
 The Lamb of God – Jesus Christ
 He was in conversation with commanders from all over the world
 I was amazed at his presence
 But then my heart stopped beating when he paused as if sensing my presence
 He looked in my direction and straight at me waving me over
 I looked behind me and to my left and right not fully convinced He was referring to me
 Not realising that I had stopped
 The guards nudged me forward again in His direction
  
 As I tentatively approached Him
 He eagerly took a few strides towards me
 Meeting me halfway with a gracious smile on His face
 Kissing His outstretched hand with a clumsy curtsy
 Before I knew it He wrapped me in a warm embrace
 Calling me by name and welcoming me like a friend
  
 He asked about my family
 Mentioning everyone by name
 He knew everything about me
 From my minute to my immense concerns
 I stood stunned at His knowledge of me
 Furthermore, he provided solutions to problems I’ve been battling
 And gave me insight on things to come
 He also pointed out things I shouldn’t do
 Even though I thought they were things only I knew!
  
 As our time together drew to an end
 I noticed the longing in His eyes
 The longing to spend more time with me and show me more
 Before I left, He encouraged me to come again very soon
 And I promised I would as I didn’t want to leave Him either
 But I knew I had to
 However, I left feeling loved, comforted 
 And empowered for the day ahead
 It was then I knew I had to make the trip again 
 Into His Presence          
                      

Stay blessed,
