Gregory clapped his hands in amazement until the palms of his hands started to ache. Through the whole amphitheatre sounds of ovation almost silenced the calls for “play again”, “one more”, encore”.
On the stage a small woman was holding a microphone in her hands. She smiled while looking at the crowd trying to focus through her tears. She was so afraid before the performance and now it was done.
Overwhelmed by the response from the audience, her eyes scanned the crowd for one person, Gregory.
Gregory knew Collette could play the piano very beautifully but he was blown away by her performance. He knew she could sing but this, wow, he had no idea.
This is extraordinary because Gregory and Collette have been married for 9 years. He was wondering why he could have missed this when he heard Jesus speak to him.
“Yes, Greg, there is a lot you have missed in your life. Do you know that she misses you very much, all the time while you have been married? No, you wouldn’t know, just as you do not realise that I am constantly with you. I know how Collette feels, not only because I know her heart, but because I experience the same she does.”
“She is looking for you right now. Put up your hands to draw her attention. I know how she feels. I am also looking at you every day, hoping you would try to draw My attention with your outstretched arms towards Me.”
“I’m always talking to you but you seem to ignore Me. All you do is asking and pleading things from Me and doing that once a day is not talking, Greg. I need to hear your every thought, which I do in fact, but as if you’re talking to Me, acknowledging My presence and longing for My company.”
“Do you realise how much I love you? Do you know that I know everything about you in detail and still love you? You don’t have to do something for Me, in fact, you don’t have to do anything but love Me back and desire to be in My presence.”
“Tonight, Collette sang this love song for you. If she did not, you would not even have known that she still loves you very much, not to mention that she is able to sing beautifully as well. She is part of your life and you do not know these facts. I am also part of your life…”
“Relax, love Me and smile. You know Who I am and what I have done for you already. I want you to enjoy your life, in My presence particularly. Could I get an encore for that now, and again?”
“I am not talking to Gregory now, but to you who are reading this. I love you so Much! Stretch out your hands towards Me! Talk to Me! I am always listening.”
