              Getting Close

Getting close to Me requires much;
You must learn to release yourself.
You must allow Me to show you love.
It is unconditional.

Like an earthly parent, I am proud of you.
I see what you are becoming.
Though you fall, there is no weakness.

Relax and allow Me to enjoy showing you My ways.
Stop the self-expectation. I have much-more for you.
Sit with Me, closing your eyes, imagining what I see.

My strength abides when you are weak.
My ways of breaking are tender for My children.
Allow Me into your every thought.
