I will always have this place

Day 352

I am reminded once again that I am on a journey with You. I am not stopped because of present world events – the threat of world war, divisions within humanity, or unsustainable debt and the slow leaking into poverty – any number of other things that could make the heart heavy if I turn my eyes away from You.

My thoughts return to the cave seen a year ago – the one I walk through with You to a vista both old and new at the same time, a reminder of Your eternal presence without boundary. This is connected to the cave art I have been currently studying, where shamans of old drew pictures of what they had seen of the spiritual world, within their world 35,000 years ago.

Men have been on a spiritual journey for thousands of years, and the cave seems a metaphor to me of entering a special place with You, being led to somewhere my heart has yearned to go, but never knew where until I came through the other side of the cave. It has been such a journey, and I feel close to arriving somewhere else to explore.

It is always the heart’s expectation to be somewhere it is not, to feel what it has longed for from the unknown, to experience possibilities of expression from what it has never felt. It is such a journey with us.

This is not Me taking you somewhere that I know, but together going somewhere we have not known. I would reveal all of the kingdom to you, but we would experience it together. It is new for both of us.

The cave is to give you a visual of our journey together, a transition of moments, where memories are accumulated by both, to be cherished forever. They are not to be forgotten, nor the journey left in the past as if we were only interested in where we are going; no, we hold fast to all the moments of time; all are eternal.

There have been many caves within your life, all meaningful, all incredibly personal. I would lead you from what you hold tight in your heart to a place where the heart is free to be all that it is – a place of affection, of promise, of the true reality of a walk within Creation as it should be seen and known.

In its greatest purpose, your heart is the cave – where I draw upon its walls of remembrance, where I have visited, where I have found the personal connection I have always sought, to be with the one I have cared for since your creation. It is where I would dwell eternally, where I would experience that which is unknown to Me, where I would remember the moments of our journey together. I will always have this place even as we explore other realms of creation – for it will always be the place of yearning for My heart.

I would love to see that place, the personal place of God – Your cave with all the memories of me, the thoughts of You towards me, the drawings upon the walls of Your observations of my life. Perhaps it’s not so much about going somewhere heavenward, though that would be an amazing journey, but knowing the inward heart of God – Your eternal, inner place. For within that place I will see the infinite heavenly places – it is the cave of light.
