I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. – Psalm 63:6-7(NLT)
THINKING OF YOU
A poem and essay by ILMA
I lie awake thinking of you, pondering on your love
Each time I do something, you see me from above
You know what I am thinking and planning each day
You guide and instruct me so I won’t go astray.
You remind me how to never turn my back on you
I am grateful that you change my erroneous views
I am glad that I live in the shadow of your wings
Thank you for protecting me from danger and sin.

Do you remember your first feelings of romantic love? You can’t stop thinking of this person you love so much. Day and night, they occupy your thoughts. You bring the memories you shared everywhere you go, even as you retire to sleep. Sometimes, even in your sub-conscious state, they are still there. How wonderful it was to feel so close to someone even if they are not physically with you. The love between you knows no distance or limits.
In the Psalms, we are given a glimpse of David’s heart who is after God’s heart. All his songs and hymns and prayers to God shows his deep love for him. He often thinks about him and meditating on his words.
PRAYER
Lord, let me never stop thinking of you.
REFLECTION
What brings two people so closely knit?
