Day 23: Just Sit
Picture this~
An empty room
Totally white
with only
2 chairs~
One for you
and
One for Jesus.
What thoughts are running through your head?
Tears fill my eyes
and right now I don't know why.
Could it be that
I have complicated my relationship with Jesus?
Have I made it about wanting blessings from Him,
instead of just desiring Him?
Have I become so distracted that I have filled the room
with so many other things, that I can't even see Him?
Just you & Jesus,
sitting in an empty room
What would you say?
How would you feel?
I would say that
I am sorry
because I haven't
put Him first.
And then I can picture
Jesus
looking into my eyes with
such
Compassion
Gentleness
Sweetness
Without Condemnation,
even though I would want to hide my head in shame,
as these words would be swirling in my head~
"I am not good enough to be sitting here, just You & I."
"Why would you even want to spend time with just me?"
And
Jesus
would still be looking
into my eyes & into your eyes with such
Compassion
Gentleness
Sweetness
Without Condemnation
because that is
Who
Jesus Is
and nothing
that you or I feel
or have done or not done
can ever change that
because
it has always been about
You & I
because
He made everything
about
US
the moment
"He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross! Philippians 2:8
Because
He went
From Riches to Rags
just so
He could sit with
each one of us~
One on one~
every second of every day,
so that
we can be filled with
His Compassion
His Gentleness
His Sweetness
His Acceptance~
making every moment
the best moment
if only
we always picture ourselves
alone
in
An empty room
Totally white
with only
2 chairs~
One for you
and
One for Jesus
as
He takes us
From Rags to Riches.
