Here I Am

The other day I was busy bodying about my day and had a lot on my mind. I kept passing by my Bible which lay open on my kitchen table and every time I walked by it, I would quietly say in my head, "I'll get to you, I'll be right there, God." 

And another hour would pass by. 

"I know, I know..." I would say. "I'm coming." With that, several more paces past it. 

Finally, as I was cooking over the stove, right next to my opened Bible, I said "I'm coming for you God. I'll be right there. Don't you worry, I'm coming for ya." 

Then it hit me. I am not coming 𝙛𝙤𝙧 God. No, not at all. In fact, He came 𝙛𝙤𝙧 me. He came to Earth in the form of His son Jesus, to have relationship with me. I don't need to come 𝙛𝙤𝙧 Him as the popular expression goes, but rather, I need to come 𝙩𝙤 Him. I needed to just "come." 

I envisioned Him opening His arms, as He did to Peter when He was walking on the water, beckoning Him to simply: "Come." 

Come. 

He is there. 

He is. 

He was. 

He will be. 

He bids us to come. 

"Here I am, Lord. I come."
