I come to You in the morning,
awakened by Your grace alone.
I sit with You,
in my tiny room upstairs,
calmly reading,
softly praying,
silently listening…
I know You are there with me;
not because I feel You
or see You
or hear You
but just because I know.

For now, that is enough.

In my becoming I have realized,
for now,
that just might be all I can handle,
which You already knew.
In my becoming I have also realized
that knowing You are there with me
may be all I ever have
and that is enough, too.

For You see,
there was a season of my life,
not too long ago,
when I did not know,
and in my doubt,
I feared,
which is no way to live.

Yet, during that season,
You blessed me with
times of wonder,
that led me away,
slowly and steadily away,
from the fear
and the doubt
and eventually even
from the wonder,
to the knowing.

So, for now,
knowing is enough.
