A young lady knocks on His door.
"Are you there, can I come?" She speaks shyly.
"Oh, sure. How's life been lately? You seem to have been so busy this week. How are things, and how are the people around you?"
"There are so many discouragements around. I feel drained after spending hours there, overwhelmed by everything on my plate. That’s why I came today. I missed this place so much. Lately, I’ve been forgetting about You. My heart gets frustrated by so many things—some days, I feel burdened, and other days, I feel fine. But still, I keep falling away from Your presence."
"Hmm, I guess you haven’t been checking off your goals, have you?"
"No. As always, I've missed the mark—constantly failing."
"It happens, and it will happen again and again. You rely too much on yourself, don’t you?"
"I do, and I know I shouldn’t. You constantly remind me, yet I constantly forget."
"I'm sorry... I haven’t kept my promise—to do things for You, to trust You more, and to obey You more."
"I know you have many things you want to do for Me, and I love that. But you don’t need to try so hard. As much as you want to do things for Me, why not first receive what you truly need from Me?
Dwell in My presence and receive My peace. Know My desires and receive My plans. Walk beside Me and receive My ways. Allow Me to hold your hand and receive My guidance. Listen to My words and receive My grace. Follow Me and receive My commandments. Seek Me and receive My love and forgiveness.
Oh, dear one, come and drink from My well and find rest. Life out there is not easy. You’ve faced so many worries and temptations, but I want you to fix your eyes on Me. No matter what, you can always come into My presence—whether your heart is heavy, joyful, or uncertain. Surely, I will give you rest. I will counsel you and watch over you. You don’t need to know what’s ahead, whether good or bad. My promise is this: I will be with you, and you will never be shaken."
"Thank You."
"Is there something bothering you?"
"Being a woman is difficult sometimes. I’m getting older. You might not understand this feeling, but some days, I feel so lonely and forgotten. I’m trying, You know, to fix my eyes on You, but I can’t seem to get it right. February blues are coming again. You know, everyone seems to have a partner—just like the animals in the ark—and yet I feel so alone.
It’s tough... it feels like everyone my age is married, has kids, or is thriving in their career. I don’t want to compare or be jealous, but some days, the weight of it hits me deeply. Too bad, right?"
"Do you want a hug, My dear? You are already a woman. I see you. I hear you. I know you because I formed you in your mother’s womb.
Remain in Me. Remain in My love, My daughter. Blessed are those who wait for Me. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. When the time is right, I will make it happen. Is there anything I cannot do? Those who trust in My word will never be put to shame.
Remain in Me as I also remain in you. Keep coming to Me, no matter your situation. Whether your heart is messy, confused, or frustrated—come to Me. And when your heart is full of joy, come to Me as well. I delight in your joys too.
Let’s take it one day at a time. Grow with Me, and you will see what I have prepared for those who love Me."
"I think Your assurance is enough. Your promises are enough. Your word is true and always right. No matter what comes, the most important thing is that I have You. Even if my desires are replaced with Yours, I will find joy. As long as I can come to You, I will be joyful and unshaken. Can I come again, right?"
"I will be glad too. Just tell everyone to come to Me."
"How?"
"Go and write about it. I'll put life into it. Just trust Me." He pats her head, like a shepherd to his sheep.
"Goodbyieeee! Let me come again tomorrow."
