What's Missing?

I am lonely. My husband hasn't come home from work yet and it's been a longer day than usual. I really miss him.

I don't really need to hear his voice, although that would be awesome. I just want him near me. I want to be able to look over and see him stretched out in our recliner. I want to smell him and hear his breathing. I want him to be near me because without him, I'm not complete. I just want him near me.

This is similar to how I feel about God at times. When I feel distant from Him, it's not necessarily that I "need a word." I just need to know we still have an intimacy no words can express. I want to be able to close my eyes and relax just knowing He's near me. I don't need Him to say He loves me -- I already know it and just want to be still in that knowledge. I want to enjoy the peace of knowing I'm complete because He is mine and I am His. I just want HIM.
