My Chair!

This is NOT just my chair.

This is my island.

My Sanctuary.

It's not just a place to sit,

but an old friend

Whose arms are always open.

It's part meeting place,

Part think-tank and all luxury.

It embraces One and welcomes all.

In my mind this is a perfect chair.

My chair has become my sanctuary in the past few weeks. As circumstances in life have confused and frustrated me, this chair is where I've been able to go to find comfort. It's just a chair right? Wrong! This is where I go to meet with my God who loves me unconditionally and has all my days planned out for me. He reminds me how much he cares for insignificant me and how he wants to pour out his blessings to me. I've prayed some pretty BIG prayers in this chair recently and in return have gotten some unexpected answers. Not too long ago, I sat here and begged the Lord to help my unbelief! I've needed to see Him at work and be reassured that He was there. He has showed up in some very unexpected places, but there is no denying that it's Him in those circumstances and using those people to get through to me. We all have our places to go where we feel safe and secure...my chair serves that purpose for me. May I never pile it under stuff again! May I leave it open so I can sit with my Heavenly Father and let Him love on me! May God be real to you even now as you read this!
