No Longer a Blank Page
Journaling to Intimacy
by Brenda D. Flowers

A blank page

A willing listener

Focusing on my Savior

Ready to receive His words

Anticipating direction.

Stilling myself

My body and my mind

Taking my attention away from

Worries, fears and my solutions

I wait.

I thank you, my God,

For the blank page and this new day

Preconceptions flee

As I turn fully

To You.

O quiet time,

Precious morning time

With My Savior and Lord

Is treasured

Beyond words

The page still blank

My mind is at rest

My heart is full

My hope is renewed

Ready now

I write Your words

Only what You say

I wait some more

Praise comes forth

Thank you.

Sweet time with You

Minutes of pleasure

Glorious delight arises

Feeling Your presence,

My Love.

Direction for the day

Comes smoothly

As Holy Spirit speaks

Comfort and grace

Love words.

I write now

Quickly and excitedly

Knowing new truths

Refreshing words

Pour out.

Thank You again.

I stop to read.

My heart is touched.

I have experienced anew,

True intimacy.
