I’m here

Abraham’s response, 
“Here I am.”,
to the calling of God
reminding me of another
a beloved child of God
when I would greet her
at worship, on the street,
and ask her how she was
her response always,
“I’m here.”
I would often joke,
“presence counts,”
but it really does.
God wants us to show up
to be present with Him
to respond in faith.
In her own way
she said the same,
“Here I am; I’m here.”
I am present, O Lord.
