Reflection - Relating With God - The Audience Of One

 Try this thought experiment.
PHOTO: Try this thought experiment.

You wake up one morning and prepare to go to work. You walk to the kitchen and greet your wife but she does not return your greeting. Is she angry with me? you wonder. You face her and ask her what is wrong. She ignores you and does not answer your question. In fact, she seems to stare straight through you. You are deeply puzzled and troubled by this unusual experience.

Deep in thought, you arrive at the office and greet your colleagues. But no one greets you, nobody talks to you. To catch their attention, you belt out a song in your best voice, hoping that they would pause their conversations or business and notice that you had arrived. But no one acknowledges your presence.

Then the terrifying realisation dawns on you - you have become invisible and inaudible! No one can see you or hear you. You can't converse with anyone. You can't catch anyone's attention. You are all alone. You are as good as dead.

A voice breaks through your muddle. "Good morning, my child," the voice says. "Lord, is it you?" you ask. "Yes, it is me," says the loving voice. The following conversation ensures.

You: Lord, what's happening? Why does no one hear me or see me?

God: Oh, I can see you and I can hear you, my child.

You: But the others - they can't! Why?

God: Do you remember, my dear child, that when you first noticed me in your life and responded to me years ago, you wanted to live just for me?

You: Yes Lord, I remember that. I resolved that I would live my life not for the applause of the world, but to please You.

God: You have forgotten that over the years, my child. Your world became crowded with people and their expectations. You waned to please everyone and your life became an unending performance to win the world's approval, You even forgot that I was around. Your eyes were so fixed on the world that you forgot to look up. I know how it feels not to be seen or heard; I often tried to catch your attention but you did not notice.

You: I . . . I an sorry, Lord. I have been living a distracted life. I have been so foolish.

God: Cheer up, child! Today I am giving you a gift. You don't need to perform for anyone else, I want you to discover the joy of living just for me. I am your audience of one for today. You are free from all feedback, except for mine. I want you to know your great worth to me, and how much I love you, child. Come enjoy this day in my presence!

We live in a crowded world and often play different roles, wearing different masks to please the many people in our lives. As Shakespeare wrote, "all the world's a stage" - it often feels that way, doesn't it? You end up performing most of your life. You try to look good to please the crowd. Winning applause on every stage becomes key in life. In the process, you lose yourself. Your inner life remains unattended to. Somewhere you sense your emptiness and bankruptcy.

It is little wonder then that Paul, when assessing his life and ministry, wrote: "I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me" (1 Corinthians 4:3-4). These are not words of self-defiant and self-indulgent individualism. Rather, they deeply reflect the fact that our lives are lived before the highest audience and court of all. Ultimately, it is God's approval and judgement that matters, far more than society's approval or self-approval. Only a person who lives in this way can be true to self and compassionate to others.

The trouble is that many Christians spend much of their energies trying to please themselves or others, rather than trying to please God. Whatever others say becomes more important than what God whispers in their hearts. They waste away before an audience that is often demanding, unforgiving, and uncaring. What a great difference it makes when we discover the audience of one - the God who made us and loves us.

To live in front of this divine audience of one means that we need to keep our eyes on God. The writer to the Hebrews urges us to run the race with perseverance by fixing our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:1-2). That is how one is to live in the presence of the divine audience. I suppose it is like when a runner in a race notices only his father in the cheering crowd. He keeps his eyes on his father's smiling face and lets his legs and arms spell out the message "This one's for you, dad!" Or like a child performing in a kindergarten song item fixing her gaze on her mother's face, filled with teary pride. Nothing else matters to the little girl.

Oh, to learn to live in this way! How pleased our Father in heaven would be if we all lived for Him, if our lives on earth sent a message to heaven: "This one's for you, Father."

But how do we keep living in the presence of the audience of one? It is meant to be a gift not just for a day, but for a whole lifetime. How do we keep our eyes on Jesus, with so many distractions around us? The secret is love. When you are so enthralled (fascinated) by the Lord, when you are in awe of His glory, when you see His love and goodness, it will no longer be a struggle. You will find that you can't take your eyes off Him. You will have found the joy and freedom of life lived before the audience of one.

Oh, to learn to live in this way! How pleased our Father in heaven would be if we all lived for Him, if our lives on earth sent a message to heaven: "This one's for you, Father."

But how do we keep living in the presence of the audience of one? It is meant to be a gift not just for a day, but for a whole lifetime. How do we keep our eyes on Jesus, with so many distractions around us? The secret is love. When you are so enthralled (fascinated) by the Lord, when you are in awe of His glory, when you see His love and goodness, it will no longer be a struggle. You will find that you can't take your eyes off Him. You will have found the joy and freedom of life lived before the audience of one.
