A Place to Dwell

May 23, 2025

Your heart, Jesus, is so full of the desire to love me, so aflame with a fire to warm me. You so much want to give me a home, a sense of belonging, a place to dwell, a shelter where I feel protected and a refuge in which I feel safe. You stand at so many squares and corners of my life and say with so much tenderness, “Come and see, come and stay with me. When you are thirsty, come to me…. you who put your trust in me, come and drink. Come, you who are tired, exhausted, depressed, discouraged and dispirited. Come, you who feel pain in your body, fatigue in your anxious mind and doubt and anguish in the depth of your heart.
