Truly God has arrived

I am standing with a toothbrush in my mouth.

Mouth overflowing with toothpaste.

There, in the midst of a daily routine, are you, The Almighty.

Seconds turn to eternity in your presence and I am amazed at the amount of thoughts that fill this one moment where you speak.

After all, you speak as soon as you enter this room with your Holy light and authoritative voice.

Your light. Have I known you? Have I seen you before?

Your word. Have I heard you before? Do I know your voice?

You forgive me, you say.

I

who have

stolen,

murdered and

destroyed

Me,

you forgive.

I feel myself letting go.

I allow myself to fall into your forgiveness.

The darkness, that I thought was invincible, has met its match and must leave me.

It lets go without protest.

A dark substance.

Fell,

and then disappeared.

I am dressed in light.

You stand before me.

I see that you must have gone to every meadow and picked a bouquet.

But when were you gone?

- This is your life, you say and hand me the bouquet.

It is a gift from me. Will you accept it?

In wonder, I see myself receive my life.

So beautiful and colourful.

I thought I was a grey mass.

The hatred had made its mark.

Like deep furrows filled with fierce currents, was the fear that kept me away from the fruits of love.

It was not until this moment, when God visited my bathroom,

I realized how deeply I missed to love.

Loving my children, my husband and maybe one day, myself…

I can feel hope stirring deep within me.

- Can I love? I gaze hopefully in to the light standing before me

- Will death stay away?

To my astonishment, a glowing display board is held up in front of me.

And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning.

I ask that we love one another.

So, it was a lie.

That the ones I love will die.

Not until now, can I let the tears fill my eyes.

No, they fall like violent streams.

As they fall, they wash away all the fear, death, hardship, loss, hopelessness locked within.

I let myself be embraced by a Heavenly Father's love

and

embrace.
