i walked in, found a seat, and bowed my head. it was then that i heard something in me whisper, “let it go”. all of a sudden, i swear, the thoughts simmering my my head dissipated one by one. my heart did not feel as weighed down. 

You know me too well. i haven’t even put into thoughts (not words because these thoughts were not something i’d say out loud) what i wanted to tell You, and  yet as i walked into Your presence You already knew. and, more than ever before, You already knew what to say. i should not really be surprised, because You always do. You are the one who holds my heart, and no one has ever held it the way You do.  

“I am the peace the world cannot give.” indeed. and today was one of those days when this rang truer than ever. i am forever grateful. only You, Lord. only You.
