Am I the center of your life?

”Look at Me.  Adore Me.  Write what I say.

I the Lord sit here in silence why can’t you do the same?  We are busy talking, sharing perhaps good things, but not listening to Me.  What you have to say seems more important.

Hush, still, be quiet, silence, sit with Me and say nothing, speak nothing, let no sound but your hearts sigh emit from your being.

All other words are gone in the next breath – whipped away by the air around you.  Only My words fit the past, present and future.  Silence is to be treasured because in that I will be heard, in that I will speak.

Adore Me.  Do not become irritated.  I am calling you aside and I expect obedience.  If I had called others, they would be silent too.  But it is your attention I ask for.  I shall have their attention at another time.

So no judging.  Place your very being before Me.  Bow down and worship the Word that is constant.  Release every problem to Me.  I am.

Do not turn your back on Me.  What else in your life do you have to do that is more important than being with Me? Do not make excuses.  You are here.  Stay here.  I know you balk because you planned to leave because you want to.  Please stay because I want you to.

Shovel your dreams and your plans.  Give Me the shovel and let Me redesign your dreams and plans.  Toss them into My lap.

Let’s sit together and look at them and see the worth of each one.  Are you too embarrassed to show Me?  Not because they are bad, but because they are so, so infinitesimal in the scheme of things.  Really they are funny eh? 

 If we allowed ourselves to sit with Me and spread out our life, our plans and see them in My lap and see them through My eyes, how we would smile, laugh and comment about which are important and which aren’t.  We could barely fill one ounce with the important things.

Why do you want to cry?  Because I have shown you something you do not wish to contemplate?  Still your tears.  I allow all sorts of casual time in your life, however it is when you think it is more important than Me that I wish to point it out to you because you keep asking to be closer to Me, to abide in Me, to see as I do.  Yet when I show you, you shun.  I am not calling you bad or endeavoring to make you feel guilty. I just am answering your prayers to become closer to Me.  And I do this by showing you how insignificant a lot of our life choices are.

Do not be afraid to see as I see. You want to, but sometimes it can be overwhelming because it seems to go against your decisions, your choices, your wants for you.

May I ask “What do you want for Me?”

You don’t like that question do you?

Because it means I am first in all and you would rather be first at least in a few things.

Then ask yourself: ‘Am I, God, first in all for you?”  And yes it is oh so easy to say “yes” but really that is not really, really true.  I am first with you in some things but not all things.  Don’t we all hate to see the truth written down, spelled out.  It is like a smack in the face – yes?

Because our pride leads us to think God is the center of our lives – it sounds like a very Good Christian Model – but in most cases, I am only a part of your life, not all of your life.

And, how does one make sure, or try to make sure that I am the center of their life?  Stop asking Me to be and just LET ME BE.

Affirm daily that I am and the phrase will affirm in you who I am to you and will allow Me to act in and through you.

You won’t even know that it is Me, but I will know.  Look at how you have already broken down that some decisions are yours and others are Mine.  Silly girl, they are all Mine.  You could not make a decision if it was not for Me.  How do I say it more clearly?

Stop dividing Me and you.  Start living as one in Me.

It takes a whole new mind, thought, perspective.  We are not separate, but ONE. 

I could leap off the Cross for you, but you still would need more.  Rest assured you will not be satisfied till we come face to face but in the meantime rely totally on My love for you, My Mercy for others, My forgiveness for all.

I love you.  You are Mine.  Be still and thanks for adoring Me.  Only through adoration will you find the answers to our relationship. 

Receive Me as your King and your confidant.
