A Conversation

You are.

Right now.

Here, where I go today. There.
You’ve already laid it out.
Figured it out.
You have forgiven, even as I bleed the words …God forgive me
You know. The parts of me I don’t want to even acknowledge, You know them. You have already annihilated those actions, thoughts, words. You obliterated them when you died the most unjust and yet strangely beautiful of deaths.

You are God.
You are Holiness itself.
You are Righteousness and You are Truth.
Lies don’t change that.
Ignorance can’t affect that.
An unholy world can’t affect Who You are.
As I stand, peering in to Your most holy place, I’m amazed that You are even calling me in. Over and over. Not a God Who will smite me dead, but a God Who knows me. Fully sees me and still has only love in Your eyes. For me.
Wanting me.
Choosing me.

You are where Truth lies.
You are where my day has to begin, will carry me through.
You are my protection through the dark, dark nights of despair.
And the peaceful rest through the evenings of restoration.
When I forget You … in my selfish, wounded way
You never forget me
When I stop, pause, wait …
You are always there.
Silent - often
Being - always
You are God. You are holy. You are right. You are magnificence.
You are enough. You are my everything… and when I live like I believe that, when I trust you in everything, every other thing becomes small, put in it’s place. Peace in chaos.
That’s it - You are my Peace in my chaos.
You are Peace.
