ALONE
Today's reading: Psalm 33-35

"Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope in you alone." Psalm 33:22 NLT

Surround us...

Like a warm, well-worn blanket stitched in love.

Like a sentry, armed to the hilt, against our enemy.

Like a black velvet box in a jeweler's case.

Like a field of ankle-high grass on a blue-sky day.

Like a mother in a rocking chair.

Like a cool breeze on a hot summer afternoon.

Why?

Because You are all we have. Because You are our only hope. Because, well, because You want more for us than what we have settled for.
