holding the universe and me

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, He will not grow tired or weary and his understanding no one can fathom." Isaiah 40:28 

"for the Lord searches every heart, and understands every motive behind the thoughts.” 1 Chronicles 28:9b

"’I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is and who was, and who is to come. The Almighty." Revelation 1:8

 "for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’" Hebrews 13:5b

My child,

I have no beginning or end. I have not just been around a long time. I am timeless. I am not seriously old. I am everlasting.  

I spoke all of creation into being. I made everything beautiful that exists from nothing. I hold the universe together. I am not just extremely strong. I am infinitely powerful. Omnipotent.

I have an infinite capacity for what is good. I don't get tired of your needs, concerns and problems and run out of gas. I have endless love, patience, energy and endurance. I am perfectly faithful. 

I have infinite understanding. I am not just exceptionally smart. I know everything. I know everything you have done, or will ever do, and all your thoughts. I, also, know the motives behind your thoughts. Don't worry. There is not some hidden failure that will surprise me and cause me to jump ship. I know you perfectly and love you completely.

You don't have a problem I need to read up on before I can help. I have seen it all and have all the solutions. I am your beautiful Remedy. I know what brings you life, today and always.

I love you,

Abba

My Abba,

Please give me a truer view of you. I know my mind cannot even begin to fathom your infinite, perfect qualities. But until I see you face to face, I want to grow each day in my awareness of who you are. 

Please forgive me when I seek your hand more than your heart. I realize nothing you can give me will rival the gift of your presence in my life. When I am reveling in communion with you, my heart is never more joyfully alive.

Thank you for never losing patience with my juvenile escapades. Thank you for not becoming annoyed with my pocket-sized needs and wants. I am so glad you have an endless ability to care for the tiny and mammoth struggles in my life.

Your capacity for connection is infinite, yet intimate. You have never made me feel like your dance card is too full with commitments to really important people. Thank you I am never relegated to a folding chair on fringe of the room while you dance with someone who follows your lead better than I do.

My most minuscule request does not go unnoticed because millions of other people need your attention. That is one of the awesome things about being infinite. You are never too busy, overwhelmed with life, or otherwise preoccupied with the slightly ginormous obligations of running the universe.

Thank you that your flawless attention to, and love for me, will never diminish or go stale. There is no expiration date on your affection. My God who sustains the universe and holds my hand, renew me with your endlessly stunning presence today.

I love you,

Mollie
