"And He departed from our sight and we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here."  Arthur Schopenhauer...

The meaning of gone; is no longer present.

We uncovered two hundred and ten verses that speak of the word gone.

Everyone is gone, and in the stillness of night, I find an inner peace that illuminates the darkness. The silence is a profound reminder of life's beauty.

As each day drifts by and each chapter of our life progresses, something or someone always seems to be gone.

Or are they??? 

As I tap into my faith, I find there are still so many mysteries yet to be discovered… Yet I feel a sense of loss… 

I closed my eyes and began to pray… are my thoughts of hoping to see Him again in vain?  Does the word “gone” bring back memories of a time I wish I could relive?? Did those precious times slip through my fingers… Did I not love Him enough? 

As I reflect on the past, my mind and heart stir with thoughts of Him, and I wonder if those moments are gone forever.

Has He abandoned me on this journey or is there still a greater force leading me to my ultimate destiny? 

I beg you, Lord, let me hear your voice, let me feel your presence, let me gaze into your soulful eyes…. And out of the shadows, He appears…

“I am not gone I am here!!! I am always with you!!! Can you feel me in your soul??  My love for you is never gone, it grows deeper with each passing day.”

His presence leaves me in a state of awe…  

I am Speechless…  

My abandoned heart finds refuge with the one who fills my soul by night and loves me with no boundaries by day!! 

And it is there that I am transported to a sacred place in my mind where He resides! His wondrous ways draw me into a realm where my soul finds His inner sanctum, giving me the freedom to love Him beyond this ordinary world.

I bid you farewell, as I elevate to this new-glorious state of being. I just may never want to return…

It’s Him!! It’s has always Him!!! 

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him are gone out into the world. 1 Peter 3:22

“I love the LORD, Because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.” Psalm 116:1-2 KJV
