The Hall of Gifts
I see an immense ornate building with gifts overflowing,
Rooms of all sizes, from small to large to galactic, indwelling.
Each filled with presents of all kinds, both great and small,
Intended for people across the whole world, for one and for all.
People travelling in and coming out with presents bearing;
Some for themselves and others intended for sharing.
For this is the place where special gifts originate truly,
From the Master to everyone whom He loves dearly.
Some gifts are out in the open, ready to be easily shipped;
Others are wrapped tight, needing effort to be unwrapped.
Some are high shelves, requiring high lifting to grab tight;
Others are hidden completely until the time is deemed right.
Some gifts are delivered at various times from the hall;
The gifted receiving without asking or imploring at all.
Some gifts must be asked for, before they are presented;
Some gifts are triggered by deeds rightly enacted.
Some gifts are sent when life turns and becomes difficult;
Some gifts are given when a lesson must be dealt.
Some gifts are shared to help another in need,
Often when they need a helpful friend indeed.
Many gifts are like seeds, which grow within the receiver;
Growing with use, strengthening, increasing in splendor.
Practice improves them, multiplying their value significantly,
Increasing in grace, power, and depth perceptively.
Some gifts are given when we are conceived in the womb;
Others are given to serve us as we live and head to the tomb.
Some gifts just help other gifts to grow greater;
Some gifts come to help us when we need it later;
In the hall’s cellar, piles of gifts sit undesired and refused,
by those who did not want them or were just confused.
The Master wanted them to have them in great abundance,
To bless the gifted person and to help them advance.
The greatest gift the Master has, is the Master himself,
To dwell deeply in hearts and not rest on the shelf.
He desires to unite truly with each and every soul,
To make every human being totally complete and whole.
And now, what do you say to the Master of All?
What do you want from His fabulous hall?
Gifts for yourself, to be wise, or grow in love deeply,
Or something for others or to unite with Him completely?
