Below is today’s email from God at Eventide. Somehow it reminded me of Margaret Epp. In an interview just a few months before her death, I asked Miss Epp what she had been hearing from the Lord recently and she replied, “Be still and know that I am God.” She was not “old age, ever refusing to answer … [who] hears me no more, and sits silent and alone.” Certainly Miss Epp felt alone, distant from her writing life and from people who cared about her writing. Yet, she still heard and communed with the Lord. Her heart was his Love-Home. May it also be so for me.
A Love-Home
Hush earth's desires that you miss not My Footfall. It brings the strength of a warrior and the eagerness of a Lover.
Let your heart thrill with the glad, "He comes." Forsake all thought but the thought of Me as I enter. Soul-rest and heart-comfort I bring. Forget all else.
Let Me lift the burden from your shoulders, My burden, borne for you. Here in quiet, we will rest, while you are reinvigorated.
Poor dwelling, you feel, for the King of Kings. Yet I see your Home of Love as Love has made it. I come from locked doors, where youth is trying to live without Me; where old age, ever refusing to answer My pleading and knocking, now hears Me no more, and sits silent and alone.
