Touch

The push and stretch of muscles
The flow of blood
Pressure and touch, toxin released
Pulling the strain and aches from my body.

The knots loosen
the stress is released
My body relaxes.

I know the power of this rest
For I know a deeper rest
A truer peace

Your Spirit pulls at the muscles of my spirit
Allowing the flow of Your blood
and the toxins in my spirit release
Purity and strength
Peace & rest
flow from Your touch.


Tomorrow I have an appointment with Jenn. Jenn is trained in massage therapy and will use her knowledge of muscles and their manipulation to bring a deep physical peace to my stressed body. I don't view these appointments as a treat. I see them as part of managing the affect of the stress in my life. Not that life is horrible, it is busy and stressful.

These appointments also serve as reminder to me. They remind me of the way the Holy Spirit works the truth of the love of Christ into my being until it brings a deep abiding peace that infuses my thoughts, my body, and my spirit with a deeper trust and a rest that only comes through His touch.
