T MINUS ZERO : A TIMELESS TRUTH

POSTED BY

Lulu van Aswegen

Where THERE minus T becomes HERE

 

The only One

Who is always

THERE

when no one else is.

 

How is it,

then, that I

so often not

approach Him first?

 

Is it,

perhaps, because

I have to seek deeper

to find Him?

 

Or, is it,

perhaps, because

I forget that

He has never left?

 

Or, is it,

perhaps, because

I seek solace

in the wrong realm?

 

Yes, I yearn

to SEE His eyes,

to FEEL His embrace,

to HEAR His voice

 

HERE…, where I

SEE disdainful eyes,

FEEL repulsed distance,

HEAR rejection

 

But, I don’t have

to find Him, He

found me — THERE,

and He is…

 

The only One

Who is always

HERE

when no one else is.

    These words resonate with me. Looking back, so many times in my life.
    Surely the words of every Christian at some point.

    Dear Lord, thank You for being here with us. Thank you for Lulu’s song in the night, and for Isa 46:4:  ”I am your God and will take care of you until you are old and your hair is gray. I made you and will care for you; I will give you help and rescue you.” AMEN.
