THE DEEP

"Deep calls to deep

in the roar of your waterfalls,

All your waves and breakers

have swept over me."

Psalm 42:7

The deepest part of me calls

to the deepest part of You.

In the middle of the rush,

in the power of the pounding waters,

in their threat to overtake me, I cry out...

And You find me.

The deepest part of me calls

to the deepest part of you.

In the roar and in the sweeping over,
in the powerful currents,

in the torrential cascade of life I call...

And we meet.

The deepest part of me calls
to the deepest part of you,
In the heaving, swelling foam & waves,
in the pushing & coursing strength of tides,
in the deafening sound of many waters,
my voice is silenced...

Yet You hear me.

This deep place,

this unanticipated point of encounter,

is only discovered when life

is waves & breakers & pounding water...
And as scary as this place sometimes is,

I am humbled,
and honored,
and amazed
to find depth with You here.

Deep calls to deep, Spirit to spirit.

Longing & fulfillment, need & provision,

confusion & understanding, 

meet in this mysterious & unexpected place.

There is revelation.

There is communion.

There is a deeply renewed hope & strength.
While this may seem incongruent,

It is my most profound & sacred season ever with Him.

The deepest part of me calls,

to the deepest part of you...

Oh! what I would have missed

if His breakers hadn´t swept over me!
