Come Away My Beloved

I have started a few new devotionals and I wanted to share a an excerpt that I really meant something to me. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

The very first time I heard God speak directly to me I couldn't believe it. I was lying in my parents' living room floor (my make-shift bedroom while I was going through my divorce) and I was crying out for help. Crying out for love, support and courage to keep on going. His words came clearer than I can explain. I heard them over the sobs and confusion of my prayers and he said, "My child, my love for you is never ending." I instantly felt an amazing sense of calm, rush over me, my tears stopped and I just sat there, in a large dark room wondering what I had just heard. I grabbed my phone and typed out what I had heard and saved it to my "drafts", where it still is today. The following "love letter" from God really hit home the other night with this situation:

A Perpetual Fountain of Glory
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. - 2 Timothy 4:7

Write those thing I say to you. Hold back nothing of all I shall say to you. For I shall speak to you in the darkness and shall make your way a path of light. I will cry to you our of the confusion round about, and you shall hear My voice and shall know that which I do.
Look to Me, and I will be your beacon in the night, and you will not stumble over the hidden things.

For I shall speak to you in the darkness....I will cry to you out of the confusion round about - Not only was I in a dark room (lol) but I was in one of the darkest times of my entire life. I didn't have a place to live, all of my belongings were in boxes strewn about my parents' home and I was lost. Everything I knew was GONE and yet He still managed to get through to me in all of my darkness.
