Come, sit with me and talk

Mark 14:36 He said, "Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want.”

This picture says so much. 

I'm not sure who painted it, but it is so beautiful on so many levels. 

What a beautiful fall day. 

This young man, we can only guess where he is coming from, going to, been. 

Is he a drifter? Run-away?  Coming home from camp perhaps? 

Either way, he has ran into the Father. 

Not just ANY father, THE Father!

Can you just imagine. Your sitting on a park bench, minding your own business

and down sits God the Fathers Son, Jesus Himself! 

They look deep in conversation. 

Jesus body language says so much.
He is turned inward toward the young man, His arms open

feet planted comfortably as he puts His arm on the bench

inviting the young man to tell Him his problems. 

They are clearly looking AT each other. 

Eye to eye contact.

The young man looks as if he has a world of troubles to tell Gods Only Son. 

And Gods Son, is ready to listen! 

Can you imagine the advice he got this day on the bench!? 

The young man says, "I can't do it" "I don't want to deal with it" "I'm scared" "I"m alone." 

Or is he saying, "You think it's OK for me to do it?" 

Or maybe, "What would you do if you were me?" 

What do you think they are discussing? 

Isn't it like God the Father to let us come to Him in openness and ask anything we want? 

Isn't it like God the Father to sit down on a bench with us and open His arms in conversation? 

Wouldn't you love to sit on a bench with Jesus Himself and just ....talk!? 

I know I would! 

I'm not sure I would ask why, no, to much into that question. 

I think I would ask, What? What is it I'm suppose to do, just tell me 

And how, how do you want me to serve you? 

How do I make that relationship better to serve you better even though I'm hurt? 

How do I approach that situation? 

I want to bring Glory to you, but honestly Jesus, I don't want to approach that situation.

What? What do I do? & How do I do it. 

That is what I would ask

What would you ask? 

You can you know

Ask Him

Anything

Anytime

Anywhere

Any place

Ask Him

Talk to Him

God the Father

Sent His Son

And the Holy Spirit

So we can Ask

Take the time where ever you are today

Whatever it is

And just talk to Him

Ask Him

He's waiting

With open arms

Turned body towards you

Arm on the bench

Waiting

What are you waiting for!!!

Ask Him!!!!
