Step In

Step in.

Come in.

It is ok to come in.

Feel free to come in.

Won’t you come in?

I’d rather you are in, than out.

Come and stay a while.

What’s the rush?

Just be still and know.

Come and bathe in the stillness.

Come and feel that which is still.

Lean into the stillness.

Rest upon the stillness.

Come into the quiet place.

Come into the place of quietness.

Come and rest a while.

Lean in.

Breathe out.

Just relax.

Hold out your hand and watch me fill it.

Come into proximity.

Come to the place of nearness.

Come into that which is near.

Take a step closer.

For you need to be in proximity to receive the blessing.

For how can you be intimate when you keep your distance?

For my love draws you in.

My love longs to be near you.

You remember it like it was yesterday.

Your whole body still shakes in remembrance of it.

You did not know what do you with yourself.

You did not know how to respond to her action.

At once so eager.

At once so in your face.

Literally in your face.

Up close and personal.

Up closer and so personal.

Up closer and too personal.

An invasion of your space.

Yet she was so enthusiastic.

So passionate.

In such a state of longing and anticipation.

You could see it written all over her face.

How could this be?

How could that which is so beautiful want to embrace me?

It is beyond your comprehension.

It is way beyond your comfort zone.

Yet you gave no consideration to your level of comfort, you were so focussed on what might happen next.

You felt so awkward, torn between that which was, and that which was before you.

Not knowing, without knowledge, and with no experience, you had no reference point, no idea how to proceed.

And then she boldly came even closer.

And she declared from her lips “It has been 14 days….”

Who counts the days?

Who has ever counted the days?

Selah.

I was cracking up in the moment, bursting forth with such joy and laughter.

At my expense Lord!

Yet this moment cost you nothing.

All I could do was co-operate with her desire. Wow!

Yes that is it.

All you can do is co-operate with my desire.

For my love is poured out on you, my love embraces you, my love takes you to places you have never been, and never would go without it.

For you could not resist her.

And she could not resist you.

For when my desire is manifest, resistance is futile.

Yes Lord she has taught me everything I know about love, and I am still learning. And to love she has added so much grace and mercy I cannot grasp the magnitude of it.

Yet you understand what it is to desire.

For to look upon the one you love, is to pull the trigger on desire, to pull yourself towards her.

Yet do you know what it is to be desired?

I’m happy to wear the veil, to remain covered.

Yet as you reflect upon your conversation over dinner last night what is it you feel?

I felt the warmth of your love so strongly, it was so much more therapeutic that I expected. It was like you were overflowing my cup in the presence of such intense darkness. A beam of light shining in the pit of despair. It was like you knew exactly what I needed, when I could not express it myself. Thankyou for such kindness.

For you wondered how you would present yourself, you had no intention of presenting yourself, yet I put you in the frame.

It was such a setup Lord!

From your perspective, you felt the warmth of the interaction as though it was emanating from them.

It was like sitting by the fire with someone you love.

Yet what is it I have shown you?

That I am the flame, I am that which generates the warmth, that invites them in. And to reinforce the point while I am writing this you send a text from one of them saying “I really enjoyed the chat. Your wife is lovely”

You can understand how your wife is so lovely, but it is not a word you would use for yourself.

I have come to break the chains, to release you from the stronghold.

For I see you hesitating at the entrance, and looking for the exit, wondering if it is safe to come in.

You are welcome here.

In fact you are what is missing, for without the flame there is only darkness and ashes.

It is time to come out of exile, it is time to return to yourself, it is time to unveil yourself, uncover yourself, unwrap yourself.

For that which I have placed within you is a great treasure, a glorious delight, a beacon of hope in the darkness.

Here take my hand.

Here receive my touch.

Here receive my embrace.

It is safe to come closer.

You have my permission to come closer.

Embrace that which you cannot grasp, the mystery of my love, the radiance of my love, the joy of my love, the power of my love.
