| Are you safe, my soul? Can you feel the earth
beneath your feet? Can you sense the strength
of Divine Presence
within your heart
holding you close,
embracing you in love
beyond measure? Can you rest in God’s arms
letting them surround you,
cradle you
in a sacred embrace? The world may press against you,
its chaos pulling at you,
its burdens weighing you down. Here,
now,
within the heart of Christ,
there is no weight too great,
no storm too fierce,
that Divine Protection
cannot overcome. Like John the Beloved
at that sacred banquet,
come,
place your head
upon Christ’s chest. Feel his arms draw you close,
his heartbeat steady,
his breath flowing soft upon your face. Rest in this eternal moment.
You are the Beloved,
your heart entwined with Christ’s. Feel the warmth of his presence;
Let stillness hold you.
Breathe in the love that fills the air,
sacred and alive. Lean in like John.
Feel Christ’s chest
rise and fall.
Let the rhythm of his heartbeat
fill you with peace. Let yourself surrender to Divine Protection.
Feel the Savior’s arms shelter you
from the world’s noise,
its fear,
its uncertainty. You need not fight.
You need not run.
In the embrace of Christ, all is well. He knows you—
completely
intimately.
He cherishes you—
far beyond
human understanding. Feel Divine Breath caress your cheek.
Hear Christ’s tender voice
whisper into the depths of your soul: No storm can harm you;
no darkness can consume you.
You are mine.
Now and forever,
I will keep you safe.
In my abiding love,
you are and always will be
safe. —brian j plachta
