The Warm Embrace of His Presence
I feel the warm embrace of His Presence, like the glow of the sun gently caressing my skin.
His Love, His Embrace, His Presence is unlike anything else, and is hard to verbalise in words.
There is a definite knowing when His Presence becomes the Aroma that fills the air.
It is as unmistakable and unique as journeying along perfumed roads, bending through budding Orchards — such moments are Eternal bliss.

You may still be seeking great success, great events, great miracles, great signs, and great wonders — I have discovered something greater than the greatness of all things put together.
I have found Him and I have found intimacy with Him.
And I have found that once you have found this, you lose your desire to find everything and anything else.
~ Johann van der Hoven

I love this word. In His presence there is fullness of joy. There is nothing, there is no one that compares with Him, I take pleasure in worshipping you Oh Lord!!!

Looking In The Window Of The Heart
There where You set me on that sunlight beach,
this warmth that caressed rosy cheeks,
in wonder and awe on that summers’ noon,
yes, let me remember this salty perfume
There, the same south wind that blew the air above me
Where You defined the ocean’s sandy shore site,
i want to be stored in words on the inside,
of an envelope that stood and stood and at night,
watch over waves that waters can cross,
this radiant diamond-shaped kite
There heartful thoughts still blow, now days and nights,
that same south wind that swept open the skies
Clear, broader, this becomes, in the vast boundary
carried away, where waits an expectancy
that lets me arrive, just under the stars above me
Thank you for the divine correction of my course.
