"He satisfies your deep desires from His unending stores of good..." we sing. The congregation is in full swing. The singing is amazing. I look around at the people gathered, my brothers and sisters in the Lord. As I look up and down the rows I see family upon family. I see lots of little babies in arms. Toddlers standing on the chairs. Children standing beside their parents. Teenagers. Beautiful rounded pregnant tummies, heralding the imminent arrival of yet another little one. We are a blessed congregation.
He satisfies your deep desires... the words play over and over in my mind. A tear has fallen from my eye. I pull my hair over my face in an attempt to hide my emotions. I don't want pity. I don't want to be the one people speak about babies in hushed tones around.
We've stopped singing now. As we pray I compose my self. The words from Psalm 103 still swirling in my mind. He satisfies. He is good. He is more than enough.
He's given us so much more than we deserve. I need to trust Him. I need to know that He is enough.
Suzanne you've painted such a beautiful picture of your worship experience. It blesses my heart and takes me back to moment's that I've experience that were just like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from Five Minute Friday. Thank you for the blessing.
PS...I see that you're in Ireland! I left a little piece of my heart in Ireland after a trip there about 16 years ago. I long to go back one day.
