Pray continuously. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Communication
is the life of the friendship's flow. Like a great river,
flowing free and strong, there were conversations of great beauty,
depth, and power. Like any great river, boulders and whirlpools
created conversations that were difficult, dangerous, and terrifying.
All discussions were part of the passage of friendship – beautiful
and horrible. Until, without
warning, the current stopped.
Communication simply ceased. Rather, it
deceased. Never to be resurrected again. One day, words flowed as
free as the river. The next day, a dam of silence is discovered.
Erected overnight. Still, silent, stagnant. Walk the banks and leave
the boat; bury the dead and move on to new life.
On several occasions in my life, this
has been the case. Empty boats by the river's edge – no word, no
why, no goodbye. Hopes deferred, trust shattered, love left. When
communication dies, relationship dies. In some cases, it may be a
slow burning of the bridge between two banks. In other cases, such as
mine, it may be an immediate obliteration of communication. Either
way, love is lost.
The heart both feels the hurt and hears
the constant call: “Be with Me. I Am desperate for your words
again, my love. Some conversations will be full of beauty, depth, and
power. Some conversations will be difficult, dangerous, and
terrifying. Some days may feel like I Am silent, but I am never
dammed, departed, or deceased. See that the current of communication
is never ceasing from My heart to you...it is up to you to release
your dams in our relationship, it is up to you to stay in the flow,
it is up to you, my love, to speak with Me. Slow to hear the rush of
the Water's Words washing over you; Speak to bathe in the Love. This
is a River of Relationship that you can trust until the very end. I
Am always flowing, never ceasing. When you are abandoned by other
loves, remember how I wait for your return. When you are distracted
by other discussions, remember how I long to hear your voice. Stay
with Me, speak with Me, listen with Me as I Am intimately in you.
Find all that we desire in each other; every moment here.”

excellent....so thinking of Him saying to us; "I AM." "I AM everything you need when you need it. I AM."
Love and thanks Michelle!
I like that Michelle, words seem to flow with you.
It's so amazing how the heart writes and the Spirit teaches. Evidence of a living God indwelling us, causing our minds and heart to express what the mouth can not. What a beautiful way to express your pain and how miraculous that God pursues us, always teaches us more and more about His love. Your writing is transparent and vulnerable. Thank you for sharing it with me and I am glad I wrote you that one word.
Beautifully said-I continue to pray for you as you walk through this difficult time....so hard to understand people, but we can trust HIM!!
WOW Michelle!! That really hits home. Thanks so much :)
Oh my—this blog really touched my heart—I felt your pain then realized the joy we have in communicating with our Lord – how at times we cut off the flow of communication with Him – He is always there waiting for us to return – oh how His heart must break when we withhold that communication with Him.
This is actually one of my favorite blogs—you really did open your heart for us to see. Thank you, my friend. I know that God has something (someone) so special all prepared for you – just waiting for the perfect moment to reveal His plan for you.
Love you and keep writing – and keep depending on the Holy Spirit to guide your words – both written and spoken.
