At the riverside

I went for a walk this evening before dinner time, just felt that I want to have a walk with God. Grabbed a coffee, and started walking at the riverside. I love nature, and everything that's not man-made...they always remind me of how amazing and beautiful God is. At my area, Brisbane River is the closest to nature that I can get that's within walking distance..hehe...Thoughts just going around in my mind, in and out, so much to say, but no words came out of me.
Sat by the riverside, and just looking at the reflections on the water, and the skies with just few stars, wasn't late enough for the moon to make its ways.

Heard so much noises at the back, the traffic, people passing by, bicycles....but I tried to be still, and listen to His voice. I asked that He will speak. I needed to hear His voice. For reasons that I couldn't express fully, and for things that I can't find words to describe.

All of a sudden, I heard the sound of the ripples against the rocks....and at that moment, I heard it as more that just ripples, but I heard His voice.

My heart could hear His voice, saying .."I am here...I am still here with you.."

It was just the nature's sound, but to me, it's much more than that. It wasn't even a language, but to me, it speaks words that touched my heart deeply.

It was that same voice that I have learned to recognise over the years, the voice that leads me, and speaks hope and truth, the voice close to my heart. Nothing could touch me in the way that this voice could do. It's His voice....

That moment, reassured me that no matter what I'm going through, how blurry sometimes things are, how confusing things can get, and how unclear the path is, what matters is...He is with me...and that's all I need to know, that's all I need to hear.
