Losing our way and finding our audience of One

The student ©Kim Hall

The love of the Lord, my Lord, washes over me as I sit here in the congregation with the light of the early morning softly illuminating the sanctuary while I listen to the worship team practice their songs for the service. I am, in a very small way, their audience of one. And yet, they play as though to a full house, their rhythms, chords and voices rising in lovely harmony, punctuated by the occasional stops to direct, fine tune and to laugh about where they just lost their way.

My dear hubbie and I facilitate Financial Peace University through our church. Our goal is to help others learn that they can manage their money and-yes!-have peace of mind regarding finances in their lives. This time around, the number of new couples in class is very small-just one, in fact. We give these participants the same attention and energy we gave to our larger class. We are leading a fresh audience of one, another couple like us who had lost their way.

Every day, every move we each make is for our own audience of One.

It doesn’t matter how much we’ve messed up or how long we’ve been gone.

It doesn’t matter if we’ve walked with Christ for a very long time or if we’ve just begun to entertain the idea of inviting Him into our lives.

It doesn’t matter if we have reached for Him for the first time, in deep desperation from where we have fallen, from where we have completely lost our way.

He is our audience of One, always there, always ready to listen, patient, forgiving and full of grace for us.

No matter where you are on your walk, whether you are on the path or you’ve lost your way, play your song for Him today, your own audience of One.

  4. Kim,
    Beautiful. We were just talking today abound finding your niche…I wrote a few months ago about my audience, concluding, “I write for God,” my own audience of One.
    Thank you for giving words to my thoughts…
    Peace and good.
