But the LORD God called to the man,
“Where are you?”
(Genesis 3:9 NIV)
YOU ARE HERE
YOU EXIST
YOU ARE HERE
YOU HAVE VALUE
YOU ARE SACRED AND DISTINCT
YOU ARE HERE
AT THIS TIME
IN THIS PLACE
FOR THIS REASON
The voice of love is calling out: “Where are you?”
I believe that the Creator is asking each individual this question everyday. It may even be a question you ask yourself: Where am I? How did I get here? Do I want to be here? Where do I want to be?
Where is a question of proximity . . . nearness. Are you close to where you were created to be? Are you near to the Creator?
YOU ARE HERE.
Is that answer enough? I think so.
YOU, exist as an individual, a distinct entity. YOU ARE part of a whole. It’s not “You is here,” but “You are here.” YOU, the plural. YOU, the collective, the communal that exists in community. YOU ARE HERE. HERE, where every other human being exists, part of the whole human experience.
The dictionary says that the universe is “a systematic whole held to arise by and persist through the direct intervention of divine power.”
YOU ARE HERE.
And the same one who asks “Where are you?”
Also knows that YOU ARE HERE.
And He likes it that way.
Where are YOU?
