You are my best thought

My highest hope

My deepest peace

My greatest joy

You are the purest air

The place where I can breathe 

The place where I can see … clearly

But sometimes

These thoughts of You

Drift, shift, and scatter

Sometimes

They disappear before they are even fully formed

Dancing away on the wind 

Fueled by the cares of life

Until once again, I remember

You are my best thought

Your mercy draws me back 

again and again and again

To my favorite place

To my favorite One

To that hidden place

That quiet place

That secret place

Of life in You

You ARE my best thought

And one day

Only thoughts of You will remain

One day

All my attention

All my affection

All my thoughts

Will be focused on You

And You alone

Forever

I wrote this about a year and a half ago. I read it from my journal to a small group and a friend from that group turned it into a reel (you can access it here). I realized recently I never wrote the words out anywhere else and I needed the reminder. I also realized that I tend to post a lot of things on my Instagram account these days but I neglect my faithful old friend, i.e. this blog. I’m trying to remember to transfer some of them over. We’ll see how far I get!

In any event, I am eternally grateful that Jesus not only IS our best thought, but that He will be forever ❤️
