Description
The cafe’s door and the vine that adorns it caught my attention in a small village in Scotland. I have taken these two elements and set them into this scene from Italy. The tables are set, awaiting guests. In the fireplace the fire is burning. As yet, no one has arrived to share in the rich hospitality that could be theirs. The potential for conversation and fellowship over a meal is left begging. In time, they may come. And when they do, the time spent together will leave them buoyed in spirit and sustained by the depth of the relationships they hold dear.
God offers us His fellowship. He longs for our presence with Him, to simply talk and to hear from Him. He lays a table before us, even in the midst of our battles and strife, with the offer of His gracious listening ear, His sustaining love and His willingness to relieve us of our burdens when we humbly turn to Him requesting His help. He has given the invitation and awaits our presence.
