every place i go, i study the people who surround me.
do i know you?
i catch myself staring now, perhaps more than i should.
and i'm overwhelmed with soul.
did i forget that we all had one, this thing of soul? that strangers have stories too?
have i simply been ignoring?
i want to know you
because i know Him.
i go to Him in prayer a lot. prayers of gratitude, broken pleas for want and need.
but i forgot that we can have conversations about the day. i can come to Him and sit at His feet and just talk.
just communing.
God and i have been conversing a great deal lately.
on tuesday, i wrote about my encounter with meeting broken eyes, in finding honour where shame tends to resides.
it's becoming a theme
a symphony of sacredness, of humility at the foot of this splintered blood-stained cross.
what are you seeking?
are you daring to converse with the King of Kings?
you say so, so much in such few words. i envy this trait. yes, i am daring to converse with this King, because He is also gentle, as a Shepherd. He calls me princess and pulls me close and says, "speak child. My ears are always open to you." i love that about Him.
ReplyDeleteSuch a challenging, enlightening post. Thank you for the constant reminders. "i want to know you because I know Him."
ReplyDeleteAmen.
"I want to know you because i want to know Him." Mother Teresa says we should see every person as jesus
ReplyDeleteever since i was a child, i would sometimes look at strangers and think to myself, God knows them as well as He knows me. it's a good reminder and definitely helps to see people through the eyes of Jesus. beautifully written post.
ReplyDeleteEchoing Shanda's comment...and Matthew 25...as unto Him...in each one.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful reminder, Rachel. Looking deeper takes deliberation. I want to be more intentional in this life too. Thank you for this encouragement to look up and look around.
