I am His favorite.

You are His favorite and He told me so.

He took me high up and I looked to see the whole Earth and the countries were all outlined and marked… I asked Him, “how can You hear all of this..so many millions of  prayers going up at once… How do any of them really matter when there are so many all rushing upwards…”

He showed me you praying  and in that moment you knew He was listening.  You could feel His full attention.  It wasn’t just you… you really had His full attention, He was hearing every syllable.  You rambled about trying to find the words and He waited patiently … He had nothing else in all the world…just you,…

because you are His favorite.

I watched you overwhelmed and then  calmed… I saw you ride the waves of prayer and meditation and He stood with you.  He heard every misspoken and perfect word.  He intently noted your heart and enjoyed every moment together…

because you are His favorite.

He kept His gaze on you as your mind drifted and returned to Him… nothing mattered but you…

because you are His favorite.

No event could separate you from Him… He called out, “Where is My favorite …I need My favorite…,” and you ran out.   Some were lined up all orderly and rule abiding they thought their names were just a number…yet you came running with your hair needing cut and a bit late.  You smiled because you knew who you were…who you are.. and you ran right  past the line and right up to Him because He called your name, “My Favorite.”  His arm over your shoulders and  He kept saying, “You know:  you are My favorite… because  you know you are My Favorite.”

He can Hear it all…

because You are His favorite.
