and i have dreams where God is kind to me, as He always is

on Revelation 4

sometimes,
i wake up startled that 
upon rising
i can feel the love of God. 
sometimes i feel i should run. 
“you don’t have to hide from Me, you have boldness and access. come up here.”
i close my eyes and imagine 
myself 
                laying down in the lap of God


the Throne Room of His majesty around us
and all of its activities
the twenty-four elders
cast their crowns
proclaiming His worthiness
lightnings, thunderings, and voices
around us
four living creatures
eyes front and back
never resting
day nor night to say
“Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”


how is this my inheritance?
to rest in the One 
Who is worthy of all
Blessing
             Glory
                      Honor
                               and Power
The Lord is forever seated on the Throne,
yet He is mindful of me
and calls me
near
