Love's Song

Deep beneath the skin, beneath layers of flesh, muscle, and bone--even further beneath all that which can be seen--hidden deeply rest the treasures of the heart, unspoken.
I believe that every heart carries a song, a soul cry that longs desperately to be intertwined with the melodies of the divine.
What a beautiful thing when the melodies and harmonies collide into the beautiful masterpiece of a soul redeemed, unashamedly belting its freedom song.
The song carries and resonates deep within the hidden confines of the soul, known to no one but the One who first began the song.
Sometimes, the song is strong and near.  You press your ear against His big warm chest, His arms wrapped tightly around you, and you can hear His intake of breath, heart beating rhythmically as He sings His sweet song over you.  You let your voice intertwine with His, and it is just as it should be.
Ah, how sweet!
How refreshing it is to know you are exactly where you're meant to be, in His arms, singing life's beautiful song together.

And yet, as beautiful as it is, sometimes, you find yourself far away, so far away, where the song is but a distant whisper, barely audible.
You're trudging along a tuneless path, lost, having forgotten and silenced the song deep within your soul.
But even then, something resonates deep within you, something echoes the beauty of His song, beckoning, drawing you back to loving arms that await your presence.

And then you hear it--distant but growing stronger.  His song.

And your heart comes alive once again, in showers of grace pouring out in His loving melody, washing over a weary heart and bringing you back to where you belong.
Back to His presence, back to His arms.
Back home.
Singing love's sweet and timeless melody together, for the rest of eternity.

This song has spoken so much to my heart as of late...Listen and be refreshed by His love.
