Waiting
Sitting
Enjoying
No agenda
No time limits
No itinerary
No plan or expected results
Not to get
Not to ask
It’s so much more
Too many come to check it off the list
To validate who or what they claim to follow
To satisfy the “I should” that silently whispers in their ears, yet they miss the point of relationship.
They long to hear, yet they listen not.
They want what’s best, but only if it fits the box, keeps the comfort levels ‘just right’ and isn’t too 'crazy' or ‘foolish’.
I am so limited in this box.
I long to reveal, to guide, to show a side many will never experience without opening the box, or breaking the box.
There has been such a dissatisfaction for many with the ‘church experience’ or with ‘Jesus’.
Yet somehow I was missed in it all or perhaps some never made it past the ‘entrance’.
For there is a cost
One that many refuse or are reluctant to pay
Many talk about paying the cost yet actions reveal different.
It costs everything
Yet the cost is so minimal
It’s a trade
Your life for mine
It was never designed to be an ‘add on’
I am not a side kick to your life
I AM life.
I AM the source.
True life cannot be found outside of me
Outside of relationship
Relationship is not obligatory, dutiful, or ritualistic
It is not dead, repetitive, and dry
Relationship is not with a structure or service, but with a person
It is life giving and brings joy at the root
It is transformative
It is purposeful
It is why you were created
Relationship doesn’t have a formula
It just is
It exists all the time
It is not compartmentalized
It is waiting
It is sitting It is enjoying
No matter where you are, no matter who you’re with. Come deeper and discover it It’s more than you assume and presume
It’s available for those who want it. Will you come?
