I created the heavens for you
I spun the stars around them.
For you.
I sowed seeds of myself across the cosmos, for you.
I am the beginning.
I am the end.
And I am everything between and beyond.
When you dream, dream of me.
When you plan your best laid plans, check first with me.
When you seek and see what you desire, step aside, and have a word with me.
When you work and toil to build castles, have a quick word with me.
For all these things, I will interpret for you, vet for you, caution & encourage you to see clearly whether you have built on rock or sand.
I created you with the most loving aspiration.
I breathe life into you daily and take delight in every inhale and exhale, and each point of light along the way.
People think of me as some relic of the past, some dream or myth.
They are blind to themselves and what is around them.
They have forgotten who they are and how they came to be.
This world will twist and turn you, and increasingly distract you, urging you to turn your face away from me.
It clutters the air with noise so you cannot hear me.
The world clamors for your attention, so that you forget me.
Apps and notifications, headlines and alerts, call your name, and you heed them.
Set these things down.
They have their time and their place, but remember, I am — beyond time and place, and I am The One who created you with the utmost love and care.
Do not mistake short and shallow fulfillment the material world provides you with the everlasting sustenance of life I gave to you.
Remember me in all you do
and I shall make your path straight.
If you ask, as you know, you shall receive.
But in order to knock upon my door, you must see my door! It’s there. Right here waiting for you —all the time.
Don’t hesitate or pause on my doorstep and don’t turn away into the night.
Knock, whether it be a tap or an earth-shattering pounding, Beloved, knock on my door.
No hour is too late.
The time is never wrong.
You’re always in the right place.
With me here you always belong.
You are welcome.
Come as you are.
I care not what clothing, cologne, or perfume that you wear.
Keep your hat on or off.
I don’t care about your credentials or politics,
the color of your hair or shade of your skin.
These things do not matter
These are things that matter in the world of men
Those who forgot where they came from.
I care about your soul.
Your truth.
I care about you.
Knock.
I wait for you and always will.
