When 2 or more are gathered
you have a room that is complete
needing no other~
but then 2 more
& another 2
& another 2
& another 2
show up
and not only do you have a room with 10 people~
because there was the
ONE
who they came to
be with
just because
they all want to be in
HIS PRESENCE.
And because
HIS PRESENCE
is
present~
these 10 people
are no longer the same people they were
when they first came into the room
because
we
showed up
&
so
did
HE
because
HE
was waiting for us
so that
HE
could
meet with each one of us
so personally~
speaking to the the deep depths of our hearts
with a transforming love
that you have no choice
but to be changed.
All because of
THE ONE
who we came to be with
craves & desires
to be in our presence,
and all we had to do was
SHOW UP
and bring our whole self~
every nook and crany of self~
the good parts
the not so good parts
the hurting parts
the past parts that we wish we could forget.
Why would we?
Why wouldn't we
because
HE knows every one of those parts
&
so desires
so craves
to speak to each one
in HIS own personal way
yet with the same message~
"I love you. I always have.
So please let's hang out more
so I can be more in the midst of your less
because
that is why I created you in the first place"
I think~
what if I didn't show up?
Life would have continued
and these women would still have been touched by
HIS PRESENCE
yet I would have missed so much
because
HE
invited me
and
why would I say no to the
ONE
who so desires
who so craves
being just with me
& just with you
no matter whether we can believe it or not.
It is so easy~
as all it requires is to
SHOW UP
& be present
with the ONE who
is always
PRESENT~
even if we don't show up.
Thank you to the 2+more who also showed up
this past weekend
so we could all experience
HIS PRESENCE
together
yet so personally
so that each one of us will never be the same.
So I ask you~
What are waiting for~
just SHOW UP.
"The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon HIM in truth"
(Psalm 145:18)
