kelly spoke on a passage in samuel at fusion tonight; she was talking about childlike faith, and resting in our father, and she brought up the word kanaph, which is the hebrew word for "wing." you know, "i rest beneath the shadow of your wing . . ."
great. that's wonderful.
here's the thing - it is also the hebrew word for "cloak."
think about it for a second.
we are to rest in the folds of god's cloak. we are to cozy up to the creator of the universe and talk into his chest of our dreams and hurts and desires and beliefs, about our days and our moods and our concerns and our friends.
it was just such a striking picture in my mind, being that i have a great need for physical affection, and am hurting for it at the moment. god actually has that space between a man's shoulder and his neck, right below his collarbone; the one that a woman's head fits perfectly into, do you know? god has a nook. and i was made so that i can wiggle up to him, bury my head in his nook with my arms tucked around my sides, and his arm around me, and then just look up at my god, soaking him in.
". . . definitely has a romantic plot line."
anyway.
he always seems to know right where to hit me, doesn't he.
cheers : )
