Just Come
HE
asks you to
COME
&
bring all of your
stuff~
not just some of it
but all of it.
It doesn't matter how
dirty or tattered and torn your stuff is
as all
HE
wants is you.
So
you look in your suitcase
at all of your stuff
that you have kept hidden
from everyone but yourself~
that you carry around
every second of every day
because you just can't let it go.
But the bag is getting heavy,
yet you are so attached~
as what is in the bag
has defined who you are.
Who would you be without it?
HE
knows about the suitcase
& chuckles
because
HE
is just asking for you to
COME
because when you
COME
your stuff will be with you
& all
HE
wants
all of you & all of me.
HE
reaches out
HIS
hands
and then you see "them"
on this perfect
MAN~
the holes in
HIS
hands that hung
HIM
on the cross~
but
HE
has a smile on
HIS face,
Compassion in HIS eyes,
Love beaming from
HIS heart~
&
all that
HE
asks is for you & I to
COME
&
bring all your stuff~
even if it is dirty, tattered and torn.
Can you?
Do you?
Will you?
You look again at those hands
with the holes
from the nails
that hung
HIM on a cross
so that
HE could COME
to you & I
& all HE asks is~
"Come to ME. Get away with ME and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with ME and work with ME~
watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew 11:28)
Therefore, why not
COME
& bring your SUITCASE (listen to the song below)
