A little girl, long hair curling and twirling in the soft breeze, she stands in the very center of a large (seemingly endless) open field. No fences. No sign posts. No agendas.
Freedom! Utter freedom, to explore, to run, to rest, to muse, to wonder. Endless possibilities. No "should's". No plans. No purpose. Just the absolute abandonment to being!
At first glance, she seems to stand alone, but no, there is One with her. One who is there to share her joy and His! One who longs to show her things she has overlooked for so long. One who aches to share Himself with her and to know the joy of her opening all of her heart and her life to Him. One to run with. One to whisper secrets
to or to yell out exuberant joys to! One to share the wonder and the freedom with.
Lord, may I please be this little girl, and will You be the marvellous One to share my life, my freedom, and my joy?
"Come, let us run together!"
My heart or some voice calls out that there are things to do, serious things, life changing things. How can I contemplate playing in this field when there is such necessary stuff to do?
But, then again ...
Here I stand in the middle of this field! No direction, no sign posts. Maybe it is time. Maybe there is time. Time to be a little girl. Time to explore. Time for freedom. Time for just being, and for just being with One! with the One!
Oh!
Maybe there is time for the "One Thing"! Perhaps this field is His temple. All I have to do is behold and explore/inquire.
I think for tonight, I will just lay down beneath the stars and whisper and giggle! Just for tonight!

One thing have I desired and that will I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in His tablernacle. Psalm 27:4
