It came suddenly.
This gift so long-awaited,
Yet its arrival startled me.
I had grown accustomed to my hunger
And suddenly knew it no more!
In its place came a new excitement,
A new purpose,
A new understanding,
A new path,
And a new experience of grace
Filling me to overflowing.
Then, I saw the fire in His eyes,
Knew the depth of passion,
This love He has for me!
I saw His smile,
Knew His happy tears for me
Would not extinguish the fire,
But only fan the flame
In my soul!
This flame?
It’s burning still!
