I took the Word yesterday and placed it on my lap.
It was a big family Bible, thick and heavy.
I felt warmth on the pages as I read.
And my heart drank His Word.
Like food,
Like medicine.
It felt like healing oil.
When I didn't believe, I never felt a glow from the Bible.
Now I feel it, like His love emanates from the pages.
Because I can feel His presence in the words,
Sometimes I clutch a Bible close to my chest as I go to sleep.
It helps ease the pain.
I long for the touch of His hands, so I hold His words close.
And I feel His warmth in the pages.
