A sacred space designed to greet
In love and mercy You entreat
With no façade and no pretense
Let down my guard and all defense
This dyad, You and I, discrete.
With dawn’s aubade and fragrance sweet
My rocking chair and coffee’s heat
Love, faith and grace, Your words dispense
A sacred space.
A building, park or quaint retreat
It matters not where our hearts meet
What my thought lacks Your warmth augments
You always leave me filled, content
And nothing less than whole, complete
A sacred space.

We can meet God wherever we may be, and you say it so beautifully, but I love the picture that goes along with your words. Sometimes, it’s having a familiar and comforting place that creates an intimacy with Him.

Thank you, Christine. When it’s warmer, I sit out on my little deck delighting in the hummingbirds and bumblebees along with him, but in colder weather, I snuggle in my rocking chair, knowing he’s right there beside me, guiding me through his word.

I agree it can be anywhere we connect to God. But I love having a cup of coffee with Him. 🙂

This is such a warm and loving reminder to be one with God wherever we are. We can just go within and be there. In fact, I use my visualization of this space where God and Christ are present, whenever I am feeling apprehensive. Somehow your peace comes through in this poem, in between the lines. Thank you for this.

You’re welcome, Beth. It’s so important to remember we are with him all the time, and anytime we wish to be. (Admittedly, sometimes more difficult than others. 😉 )

I can seem to find that quiet place even surrounded by noise. Can you?

Usually. Had one of those life passage last week before I found that place. 🙂

Thanks, Levi. I was actually still ruminating on the fact that sacred spaces are everything, not just in a building labeled, “Church.” They are wherever we find ourselves connected to God – which, really, is everywhere. 🙂
