:: The Chase ::

He’s so far away

I cannot feel His presence 

I beg Him to come to me

But the Heavens are silent

I miss His voice

It’s so empty without Him here

Where has He gone?

Why won’t He speak to me?

I cry and I plead

Still no answer

I sit in the silence

Still no sound

I begin to search 

I turn over tables

I push back clouds

I catch a glimpse of Him and run

So the chase begins

I run like never before

Such longing, such desperation

I ache to catch Him

He stays just out of my reach

I cannot get closer 

I run all the more

I yearn for Him

Just as I begin to lose hope,

To think, ‘He cannot be caught

This is useless, endless’

He turns and catches me

The love in His eyes

The sound of His voice

His presence all around me

I cannot get enough of Him

Then He smiles and turns,

my love must be proven

and again, once again, 

the chase begins. . .

This is me, exploring an idea I had a couple weeks ago. I overheard some of my friends talking about how God felt so far away. My brain starting spinning. And voila, here is 'The Chase'. I don't know if it's theologically correct, it's a thought and an idea. The idea that maybe God 'pulls away' sometimes just to see if we really want Him. Kind of like a lover wanting to know if the person he loves will come after him. I don't know. Like I said this is just a thought/idea. Something I wanted to 'explore'.
