A Voice in the Distance
I can here you calling in
the distance.
There is no face attached to
this voice, yet there is a certain tenderness whispering listen.
Lord, could it be, could it
be the one?
That one that I’ve yearned
for from my inner recesses?
The one that I have prayed
for, knowing he who finds her finds blessings?
My love, if it is you, know
that I’m sitting here listening.
My heart’s flame is kindled
by the voice in the distance.
Several times I’ve mistook
others to be the bearer of that tender voice;
Subsequently releasing the
abundant assets of the fortune stored within my heart,
Struggling with the
fallibility of my discernment, I sought God to help me secure that precious gem
I was seeking.
His response; My gifts only
come through me, what were you thinking?
My son, you touch your dream
by trusting me,
If you will allow me to, I
will remove the blinder so that you may see!
So my trusting Him has
allowed me to envision you, the bearer of truth!
Through the funnel of my
vision I attend to my mission, all the while I envision the bearer of the voice
in the distance.
King Lemuel’s mother
described you in proverbs 31.
The substance of your heart
breathes light as bright as the sun.
Your tenderness circumvents
my guarded heart and delivers my soul to a place where all is well.
As each moment passes, my
faith eradicates the enemy’s resistance as I focus on the voice in the
distance.
When I think of God’s
careful design,
As he sculpted you with me
in mind.
How he carefully chose the
womb and the seed of your progenitor.
How 23 chromosomes from your
mother merged with 23 chromosomes from your father, creating the genetic
masterpiece for which my prayers had ascended.
How no detail went
unattended; how blood types blended; how commonality was rescinded, creating
all that God had intended.
Through the meiotic division
of cells came the ovum through the process of oogenesis, creating the first
half of the perfect synthesis.
Down through generations of
many witnesses emerged the seed through spermatogenesis.
Together all this forming
the DNA that through time would emerge; the fulfilled promise of God’s Infallible
Word!
Bone of my bone and flesh of
my flesh, intricately woven & masterfully formed, God presented His best.
Through His best, I was
tested and found true, opening the pathway to receive you.
I’ve been given the vision,
anointed to fulfill the mission, sent to empower Christians, but I can’t shake
the voice in the distance.
God has blessed me with
every gift and given me all things richly to enjoy in all sublime.
Yet, beyond salvation, you
are the greatest gift, encouraging me to fulfill my design.
You are encompassed by
grace, draped in virtue, filled with the spirit, anointed with power, held by
the hand of the Lord.
It is trusting in His
promises and hearing your voice in the distance that assures me that I am loved
by my God.
All the times I’ve prayed
it, the multitudinous times I wished it, If I would have blinked I might have
missed it. …. “He that delights in the Lord shall have the desires of his heart”
There it was, written on the
chords of my heart in a melody that sings your name as the final part.
The
verse that makes the pain make sense. The Promise that brings peace in grief.
My love, I sense you growing
closer as if you may appear in an instance,
But until that moment, I
will continue to hear your voice in the distance.
