It has been a while since I have written here. Which is obviously not news to You. Hehe
How have You blessed me since last year August. How have You walked with me and provided and cared and loved me. How have You listened and answered and guided and taught me. How have You shown Your face to me in so many ways. Spoiling me, Refining me. Teaching me. How have Your favour lifted me into another realm of existence.
How do I love You and wish I could be more and do more and trust more and love more as Your Beloved Daughter.
This week I have been thinking on this verse.I have not read it, You have just reminded me of it through the presence of Holy Spirit and therefore it means You really want me to think on it and understand it for a reason.
I love this verse
2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
John 14: 2
I have been grappling with knowing YOU - truly knowing YOU. YOUR heart, YOUR Mind, YOUR thoughts about me, YOUR eyes. You answered me in the most awesome,only God can do this way by showing me YOU are MY BEST FRIEND.
How absolutely mind blowing, that YOU who are GOD of the universe. YOU who holds the world in the palm of Your hand. YOU who use the earth as Your footstool wants to be and is my best friend.
WoW!
Again - WoW!
You knew that best friends is a term and concept I understand and would treasure.
You know me so well. Sooooo well.
Then I started thinking about these words of you Jesus.
2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
John 14: 2
What does it mean when You told us all almost 2000 years ago that You are preparing a room for us in the house of Abba?
Surely we would all just go to heaven and sit at the feet of Your United Throne?
Surely we would be so busy praising and worshiping You that we would not need a room?
How could there be room for each one of us - millions and millions and millions of people that was, that is and that are coming into Your Kingdom and loving arms?
If there are rooms for each one of us, would it be dormitories, futuristic rooms like in the future movies?
Would we all be wearing the same clothes, living in the same box rooms, all looking the same?
Would it be the struggle to survive rooms of so many Christians in the Middle East, 3rd world countries, Asia?
Would it be the opulence and over the top sets of the Western World Christian television networks?
Would it be Hollywood or Bollywood?
Would it be plain middle class type rooms?
Would it be like Your living standards when You became man - where You did not have a house or a place to put Your head, but had to be reliant on Abba to provide every day through Your brothers and sisters on earth?
What do You mean by: "I am going to prepare a place for you."
Could it mean that as my BEST Friend, that You are preparing a room that is unique to me and my taste and my passions and my favourite colours? Will it be a room reflecting my personality and gifts and talents and interests? Will it be a room where I will walk in and immediately KNOW that You do not just know me, but love me so much that You have prepared the perfect welcoming, staying for ever space just for me.
As unique as I am.
Reflecting me and only me.
A place I can sit and dream about and hanker to reach and be in.
A place not over the top and ostentatious.
A place not of poverty and hardship.
A place not to big and not to small, not to rich and not to poor.
A place that is perfect and just the right balance of everything.
A place prepared especially for me, by name.
A place where I would walk in and just know - this is it. My room prepared by My BEST Friend, just for ME.
A place that says - welcome home my beloved, my darling daughter/son/bride/friend/creation.
You are preparing a room for me,
WoW!
Just WoW!
