THE ENCOUNTER.

THE ENCOUNTER.


He hugged me so tightly, yet so tenderly. I felt so much at home, I never wanted him to stop, I wanted to stay on his shoulders forever or as long as it could take. he's gentle hands stroke my face so gently and as if on cue , a warm trickle of tears rolled down my some what confused face and as immediately as they fell he wiped them off.
"Don't ever leave me," I managed to blot out amid my sobs. "I am always here," he assured me." then why don't I feel you, why do I feel so alone," the conversation went. " because you don't take time to noticed me." " but I do,...well I try, I really try to live for you. everything I do, I do it for you, by you," I argued." yes, I know that , I can see clearly, but don't think you haven't tried hard enough?" " then how do I know it is enough?" I prodded further." you ask too many questions! anyway it is not enough until it is enough." "aha! from the way you respond someone could mistake you for a confused geek!" I scoffed.
he raised my head up so that my face could face his directly. he looked me deep in the eye, I saw his countenance and immediately I blushed. I looked down!
then... I don't understand, he is here, yes, and I saw his face, yes and I felt his touch, surely I cant be dreaming, no definitely not because I hear voices, clear voices, but seemingly so distant. he was still there , yes he was there. I try to look up to his face and I see nothing, just this great light that kept on and on. I open my eyes and am met with a red carpet, I shut my eyes  fast not to lose this great scene where openly I am a character . as I look one more time at this wondrous sight, I notice something I had not seen before... of course! the dressing! purple, gold and the whitest white I have ever seen, and another thing, when he moved any part of his body, his rob moved too and beautiful gold sparks fell around him, and peace, peace no one would ever understand filled the room. as I watched all this, a sudden realization downs on me, am lying down... no am kneeling down and the carpet is the alter carpet. I am in church! I come back  to the physical reality from the spiritual reality just in time to hear... And the church said... Amen!" but just before I open my eyes, he whispers in my ears and said, " daughter, it will never be enough, because worship has no end. it has always been there and will always be there! that's why am known as the ROCK OF AGES.
