Do you have a hiding place?

Do you have a hiding place? A special spot where you can just pour your heart out and call on to the God who loves you? A sacred little corner you can run to whenever you feel you’ve had enough?

My bestfriend and I has such a place. It’s a little corner near the stairs of our office where you can view the city skyline and feel like heaven is just within your reach.

Whenever the pressure from work would seem overwhelming, I would ask my friend to pray with me there. We’d just sit there, close our eyes and feel the presence of God in our midst. Indeed, it is true that that when two or three are gathered in His Name, there He is in the midst of them.

For many times, even before words were actually uttered, I’d feel as though I were on holy ground. I’d feel how unworthy I am to be there before Him, and I would ask Him to cleanse me and forgive me of my sins. I’d feel how good and merciful God is, and how much He really cares for me.

And just right there, realizing I am not alone, knowing somebody understands, the weight of my problems would suddenly be lifted off of me, and my spirit would be refreshed.

I’d feel God’s burning love for me, seeking every fiber of my being, showering me with holiness, sealing me with His love. Tears would suddenly flow from my eyes, and I’d feel blessed. My strength would be renewed for I’d have found peace in the midst of the many cares of this world.

Go ye find your own hiding place, somewhere you can run to and seek refuge when the looming clouds grow darker than you can bear. You need not go far. You need not build a temple. Just find that sacred little corner and save it in your heart, and wherever you may wander, you know you can always return there, for it is right there in your own heart.
