I'm tired
I was tired too.
I can't write.
Ah, but look, at least you have the heart to write. The hands to type away. The gift to string thoughts out of your heart and somehow let it be known what you are feeling. And here you are. I have given you all this. This is your calling. Glorify me with it. I gave you your weird mind and trust me, I gave you a direction. I am your Father. I have turned your darkness into light and your failures into victories long ago. Even if everything fails, if no one loves you anymore, if no more blessings head your way, I still gave you the cross. Look towards the Kingdom first.
I'm afraid that you will go away. I want you to stay with me but who am I to sit at your feet. What have I done to ask you for blessings? I can’t even understand…

Gaze at me. Turn to me. Place your
identity in me. I will give you the
strength to love and live and run. I
know you are weak. Apart from me you can do nothing, but you are never apart
from me. With me you can do anything. I’ll never leave you, that I will promise
you. I have gone from infinite to finite to grasp you. Don’t worry, I love
you more than you can ever imagine. I’m with you, always.
I want you apart from everything, through all the theological complications and the complexity of life. I just want to be with you...in the moments.
Breathe in deep and rest. Drink your coffee and close your eyes. I love you. I love you. I love you. If I’m with you, who can ever separate us? No demons, no economic downturns, no grades, no person, no words, no reputations, and no thoughts. Even if everyone hates you, I’ll stand with you. You have asked me into your heart and I have dined with you. I am not going anywhere. I'm with you forever. I'm with you when you're screaming for joy and gasping for breath. I'm with you. With every breath you are no longer reaching towards an end but an inception. I have a story for you, one for the sun, along with the rain. One that will surely make you smile.
