Day 23: Come To My Party

Writer's picture: JoniJoni


COME to my party

and

COME as you are,

to meet the main guest.

You may know HIM. 

You may have heard about HIM. 

You may not want to hear about HIM. 

But just wait until you meet HIM,

whether it is the first, second, third,

or never time that you have

met HIM.

HE wants you to gather around HIM, 

because HE has something to say

that is for EVERYONE 

who

COMES. 

HE starts with a whisper,

as HIS voice is so soft and inviting

that you have to lean in to listen

because

 you don't want to miss a word.

You may feel a little bit nervous, as you don't know what HE may say.

You may feel a wee bit fearful,

as you believe that HE may look at you and want you to leave.

You may feel a wee bit paralyzed, as you have no idea why you would put yourself in this situation.

You look around and see the others who came to the party.

You wonder if they are thinking the same thing that you are thinking.

Where is the food? When are we going to eat?

And then it happens.

You start getting filled,

 as if you ate a whole Thanksgiving dinner.

You are full,

 but there is more room because you are craving more,

as you are eating all of HIS WORDS.

Is HE for real?

HE asks you to,

"COME".

HE tells you,

"DO NOT BE AFRAID".

HE tells you

that HE has a gift for you,

and it is PEACE.

Who is this MAN?

And then your eyes meet.

It is if HE is in your HEART.

Your whole body gets warm.

You feel so safe.

You feel LOVE for the very first time,

yet a different kind of LOVE.

A LOVE that invites you to

COME AS YOU ARE

so

HE can LOVE you the way you were created to be LOVED. 

And then you see them,

as HE wipes the tears from your eyes.

THE NAIL HOLES in HIS hands.

Could this be?

Is this HIM?

Oh yes.

It is HIM!

Therefore,

because

JESUS IS REAL AND SO ARE YOU,

"This is your invitation.

No more lost and alone.

This is your invitation.

Hear your Father saying,

'Welcome Home'.

Come on down to the

LIVING WATER*"
