Wide, Long, High, and Deep

I'm so weary of this lonely emptiness having a hold on me. I want my treasure to be in the wide, high, stretching depth of God's love. And then my heart will be there too. Then He will dwell in all my empty places, making them empty no longer.

Isn't it such a beautiful and full thought...the thought that there is something that dwells within us that is wider than the sky above? Love itself wants to drop down into our souls. And so all we have to do is turn our eyes to look into its face, gaze into its beauty, and then somehow that wideness that stretches above us comes plummeting down from heavenly heights and somehow, all of a sudden, there's this pulsing, throbbing orb of light within our hearts which we once thought were so small...but the borders of all we've ever known are suddenly expanding like lungs catching breath.

I've felt it.

And this wide-light-filled-spiritual-seeing orb...it speaks to me and tells me things that are beyond all my deepest, most beautiful imaginings. I don't think I can write them here, but may I ask, what do you hear? I will contemplate if you will.

But let me at least tell you, the emptiness has hold of me no longer. I used to fill my heart with bulky, heavy things, but somehow those were only illusions; the space they took up, only emptiness.

But this light...this is something different.

Nothing is hidden from its warmth.

It stretches within me, wide, long, high, and deep...something so great can't just up and leave. It's found its home here, in me and you, and you do know, don't you, that we will never be alone again?
