God intensely pursues us. His strong Feet and Voice patiently seek after us. Patiently, persistently, relentlessly, unceasingly They pursue us. His Hand caressingly reaches out for us, to hold us and to touch us and to feel us and to know us. His gentle yet peering Gaze strips us of our defenses. In our fear of intimacy, we flee. We hide – as if we can hide from His gentle all knowingness. This knowingness penetrates our gaping hearts and desires to fill the hole within us. We crouch as if trying to cover ourselves. He gently parts the veil of our fears and sees. He longs, yearns, pleads for our restless spirits to quieten for just a moment, a moment with Him.
these thoughts were inspired by "Hound of Heaven", Francis Thompson
