Getting My Attention

On God Interrupting My Efforts to Hear Him

A True Story

“The secret place” seems a secret to me.

I look, I search, but I cannot find it.

This space where you speak loud and clear.

This space where the heavens open up and let me peek in.

Where are you secret place?

Why so hard to enter?

You say “knock and the door shall be opened. Seek and you shall find.”

Silence.

But then …

A manta-ray jumps out of the water and smiles at me.

Delight.

“Stop looking for this secret place and just look for Me. I am all around you. I delight over you. I know what you need before you ask Me. Enjoy my goodness and beauty. Ask me to help you and make a way for you in all things. Cease striving and be still. The secret place is not a secret, it is in you, behind you, before you, and all around you. Learn the way of stillness before Me and I will adapt your eyes to have my vision.”
