An Audience of One

   As this day began, my thoughts were that I had an uninterrupted morning to concentrate on what God was saying to me. No obligations, no schedule, and a few hours until I had to pick up Mayre Lou from church at noon. The perfect storm for sure.

   Then I sat down, opened the Oswald Chambers site, my blogging site and the Bible site that I use to study the whole scripture surrounding the one used in the devotional reading. I was ready for God to meet with me.

   Then, a blank. My mind was everywhere, my concentration shattered. I thought about Christmas, long ago ones and current. I thought about church things, jobs and obligations, and home things, current and projected.

   I went back and reread Chambers for about the tenth time, and this caught my eye:

   "Personality is the unique, limitless part of our life that makes us distinct from everyone else. It is too vast for us even to comprehend. An island in the sea may be just the top of a large mountain, and our personality is like that island. We don't know the great depths of our being, therefore we cannot measure ourselves. We start out thinking we can, but soon realize that there is really only one Being who fully understands us, and that is our Creator."

   God says the object of this time is not to think about something to write about, but to "be". I don't understand why this morning is like it is, but He does.

   I want to write something inspiring for anyone who happens on the site, and maybe even use a picture like I learned how to do yesterday.

   But He says that this exercise in study and writing is just to be for an audience of One, and that is all that matters.

   Oh, slow learner that I am, let me just stay out of the way and interact, whether I do any good writing or not.

   One knows and understands.
