(from "my secret place")

in my most secret place

there's an ugly secret hidden so my eyes

had always glistened, but now the whole earth

collapsed, the atmosphere frozen,

bodies that unsightly entangled rolling

over the frozen wasteland, and my eyes

no more glisten and my ugly secret

is no longer a secret and my most

secret place lost its meaning.

'It'll be our place.' 'Where we can go hide from the world.' 'We won't need to hide. Because we'll be brand-new there. We'll start over. I won't be the girl who no one sees. And you, well you don't need to change much at all. Because, I was thinking, to me you're kind of perfect.'

Playing around with colours, brushes and composition. So basically like, drawing. I REALLY like drawing on a handheld tablet. It’s very… intuitive.

🦄“When the unicorn arrived, things were different from what had been expected. He was such a noble animal, to begin with, that he carried a beauty with him: it held all spellbound who were within sight. The unicorn was white, with hoofs of silver and graceful horn of pearl. He stepped daintily over the heather, scarcely seeming to press it with his airy trot, and the wind made waves in his long mane, which had been freshly combed. The glorious thing about him was his eyes. There was a faint bluish furrow down each side of his nose, and this led up to the eye-sockets, and surrounded them in a pensive shade. The eyes, circled by this sad and beautiful darkness, were so sorrowful, lonely, gentle and nobly tragic, that they killed all other emotion except love."

~ T. H. White (1906–1964), The Unicorn

             LIFTING UP MY HEART TO JESUS

1 Samuel 3:1 -- "In those days the word of the Lord was rare;  there were not many visions."

          If Eli could not hear from God, the people would not receive messages from Him. 

          The only words that we receive that are of help to people are words from God.  If we don't spend time LISTENING to Him, then we will not receive words by which we will bless and encourage His people.

1 Samuel 3:7 -- "Samuel did not yet know the Lord:  The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him."

          He'd never heard God speak, but he still enjoyed His presence. 

          We need to hear from God; we need to hear the word of the Lord.

          We can only hear from God if we spend time with Him. We can only hear from Him if we have a relationship with Him.  Our relationship to God is the most important thing in our lives, therefore we need to give it the utmost care.

Psalm 91:1 -- "He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High God, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

EXPERIENCING EVIDENCE OF HIS PRESENCE

          There is a secret place inside us where God dwells, where we abide with Him in the Spirit.  In that secret place, we will experience the evidence of His presence with us.

          We have the greatest calling to fulfill in the universe:  to live out our DESTINY in Christ with God's power living and working through us.

          The secret place is not a physical place like it was in Samuel's day.  Our secret place is in our own hearts.  We can go anywhere and still focus on Him in our spirit and be in the secret place of the Most High.  We might be at work, yet we can enter into the presence of the Lord by simply going to the quiet place in our spirit and find Him there waiting for us.  It is in this place where the Lord speaks and we listen.  In the secret place is where we will find God's earthly purpose (DESTINY) for our life.

          Samuel had never heard God until he spent time in His presence.  They developed a relationship with each other.  We pursue the love of Jesus by letting His love flow into our hearts and back to Him.  His love flows through our heart as we meditate on it all day long, allowing it to flow into the life of others.  His love is manifested as we disciple others into a knowledge of Christ and also their Christ identity.

          We need to hear the voice of the Lord!  We need to hear His voice now more distinctly than ever before, because we need a personal revelation of our CALLING in Christ.

SEEKING "OUT OF THE BOX"

          Eli had gotten used to residing in his "usual place" in the house of God.  We, too, can get too used to our relationship with God the way it is.  But God wants us to come out away from our "usual place" and seek Him afresh and anew -- to turn from all else and seek only Him.  He wants to infuse us with His love into our heart so it can flow into the lives of others that we are helping with their walk with Christ.

                AFFIRMATIONS:

I resolve to get to know Him in a fresh way and come to understand my Christ identity so I can advance His Kingdom through my Christ calling.

As I abide in the secret place in silence, I lift up my heart to Him in love and experience the communion of His presence.

As I receive His love in my heart, my capacity to love others is enlarged.
