Revelation #9: He's Here

WishYou Were Here

I just received a postcard, from a very dear friend~

Who lives far far away, but One whom I depend.

I knew I was thought of, as the words were sincere~

Beginning with... "Dear Joni, I wish you were here..."

I smiled with joy, as someone was thinking of me~

In a way that they were wishing, with them I could be.

I was a bit confused, as I had sent the same note~

Awaiting a response, to what I had I wrote.

As I looked at the postcard, I couldn't believe my eyes~

This special Someone, was finally answering my cry.

I took a deep breath, as I didn't know what to think~

As I began to read the words, that were written in gold ink~

"I received your postcard, and your message was clear~

That you wish I was with you, as you wrote, "Wish you were here".

I have three words to tell you, and please take them to heart~

"I AM Here" My child, as I have been, right from the start.

You don't have to wish anymore, because I'm right by your side~

Through this journey called life, I 'm along for the ride.

In good times and bad, you can count on Me~

Living inside of you, is where I will always be.

So Joni, I Wish you were Here, believing in My name~

Trusting in Me, you will never be the same.

Thanks for your postcard, I'm returning it back to you~

Love God, and PS... I love you too."

I got the message, loud and clear~

That God never left me, as He is right "here".

"Here" in the moment, "Here" in my day~

"Here" even when things, aren't going my way.

He's my Father in Heaven, and my Father "Here" on this earth~

He's always been with me, since the day of my birth.

The postcards I send Him now, are filled with my thanks & a prayer~

Because I am certain, that He is Here...as He is Everywhere.
