Dare

We quiet ourselves to hear Him better.  We stop our busyness to sense His movement.  We set aside the plan for the day and the lists of what we think is important to get a glimpse of what He has in mind.   We set down human agendas to gain heavenly ones.  We dare to approach the warmth of the fire to discover the depths of His strength and love, the blazing light to reveal our broken places, the potter’s kiln to strengthen us, the holy light to see His brilliance. 

The quiet is good…a transforming place.  Don’t be afraid to discover the greatness of its mystery.  But you have to have courage to go there, to let yourself feel small in His presence and to let Him do a work in you.  The quiet is not a place for the faint of heart.  But it is safe.  You won’t know until you go there.
