Personally, today was a joyous and blessed day. I sometimes forget that it is relevant to treat each waking day as if it is the first. The night before, I received a warning .....nah....an admonition to return back to my best friend. To make sure that I told him my heart and his to me. I knew I was beginning to ignore him. And had pretty much rationalized my reason for doing so.
However,., the wake-up call I received, reminded me of all the times I had yearn to be closely acquainted to him. Now that I am, I had been declining into the valley of forgetfulness. Forgetting to call him. Forgetting to tell him how my day went: the late city bus, the verbal harassment from a drunk, and the minor confrontation with my dad. I forgot to share my inner fears and therefore missed his placid response. Similar to being on a roller coaster, I forgot to smile at the camera, neglecting the eyes of the one who perpetually see. So, I struggled under my own will, even though I had a friend capable of helping.
But today, I returned desperate and broken. I felt his warm embrace once more: welcoming and forgiving, loving and gentle, cleansing and refreshing. I regained hope. Assured, I totally surrendered. And he definitely came through. I know he's powerful and performs miracles for me incessantly, but today I experienced his presence and might. And I'm forever convinced that he remains faithful even when I'm not.
