Downside, upside

Being around so many people I love and miss over the pass few days has been wonderful, but has also served to remind me of the holes left in my life by their absence.  I awoke this morning acutely aware of these and others who are not so present to me any more.

But I was soon aware that I had my attention in the wrong place again.  Each of these dear ones is bound to me by the love of God in the Holy Spirit, and immediately on recalling that truth my heart felt an inrush of God's presence, lifting me up, returning my thoughts to the knowledge that each relationship serves the greater purpose of bringing us ever closer to Him.  We are bound up together in Christ, and no amount of time and distance can ever truly separate us!

I've been recalling you and lifting you up before the Lord this morning, dear loved ones past and present, that you too may find yourself touched by infinite love this day.
