Day 19: One On One

Picture this.

An empty room.

Totally white with only 2 chairs. One chair for you.

One for JESUS. What thoughts are running through your head? Tears fill my eyes just thinking about it & I don't know why. Could it be that I have complicated

my relationship with JESUS?

Have I made it about wanting blessings from HIM,

instead of just desiring HIM? Have I become so distracted that I have filled the room with so many other things,

that I can't even see HIM? Just you & JESUS, sitting in an empty room. What would you say?

How would you feel? I would say that I am sorry,

because I haven't always put HIM first. But then I can see JESUS

looking into my eyes with such Compassion,

Gentleness,

Sweetness,

and Without Condemnation, even though I would want to

hide my head

in shame, as these words would be swirling in my head~ "I am not good enough to be sitting here, just YOU & I",

and, "Why would you even want to spend time with just ME?" And JESUS would still be looking into my eyes

&

into your eyes with such Compassion,

Gentleness,

Sweetness,

and Without Condemnation, because that is Who

JESUS IS. Because

nothing that you or I feel or have done or not done can ever change that because

JESUS has always made it about

you & I the moment "HE made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, HE humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—

even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:8).

Why would HE do such a thing? How could HE do such a thing? Just so HE could sit

with each one of us, ONE ON ONE, every second

of every day, so that we can be filled with HIS COMPASSION HIS GENTLENESS HIS SWEETNESS

and HIS ACCEPTANCE, making every moment

the best moment.

Therefore,

just don't picture yourself alone

in an empty room

with 2 chairs.

Instead,

SIT in a chair

next

to JESUS

and have a

ONE ON ONE,

and keep

"TALKING TO JESUS"
