Stealing

I feel like a thief trying to steal time with you in this moment of silence. Lately silence has been a luxury I cannot afford. But even though silence seems to come at a cost, your presence is always free. So I quickly take the quiet moments when I find them, while longing to lounge in the luxury of your presence from the quiet places in my heart. Then you gently remind me, "If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me" (Jeremiah 29:13).
