In Love.

 

This day is perfect - not hot, but just the right amount of sun is hitting Sara's face. In beautiful rhythm, her feet swiftly run through the soft weeds down in the field. She lifts her head and breaths in a great amount of scent--wildflowers. Trees are rustling from where she is headed. The small creek right next to her continues to flow and calm her already beating heart.
 
 Still running, she plays out just what she'll say when she gets there. She remembers when He made her laugh--she remembers when He calmed her heart--she remembers when He forgave all. And now she just couldn't wait for this day. One day she called Him and He said, "Here I Am." And now He called her, and there she goes running. As fast as she could.

  She heard Him again--was He singing? Sarah couldn't stop smiling but she knew - she knew He loved it when she did that. She knew He loved it when she laughed. And when she cried, she knew He caught each tear. Now the tears were coming. Racing down her cheeks. Her heart was overwhelmed with a love that was so indescribable - so real.
 
  Finally she stops running. Where is He? There she walks past each tall tree. And seated on a small rock, there He was. His back was to her, and as she sniffed, He turned around and gazed at her with the most beautiful face. He stood, and opened His arms. "Come! I have been waiting for you My child."

  Sarah ran for Him, and planted herself in His warm embrace. And said, '" I love You my Jesus. I have fallen in love with You!"

Tonight, the moon was the brightest I've seen it. I stood there glaring into a big ball of radiant light that became the size of my pupil. It looked as if a pure black blanket was lain around the light which then showed to be like a flashlight as if to reveal a secret. A magical dream place where the light spotted only the secret places of a person's heart. My heart.
  But that Light became a light in which it not only revealed each tiny secret imprinted on my heart; that Light changed my heart. That Light becomes brilliantly bright in a person's life. Where everything was once dark and gloomy - sad and scary --there the Light of Love came a made it's home--in the secret place of my heart.

  Tonight the Lord took me someplace. He smiled at me and kissed my cheek. He brushed back my hair that was subtly left upon my face and He said,

"Daughter, I see YOU and know YOU and understand YOU. For I have created YOU. I'm here my beloved - I'm here."

He's teaching me how to trust Him. To put my faith in only Him. Where troubles seem to knock at the door of my heart and mind -- who will I let enter? Jesus? Or every thing possessed by the world? Which is more powerful? Surely not the world! For it was God who MADE it! Confusion - depression - weariness - doubt - fear ----- all not from my Father.
  I assume Noah felt each one of these things. And yet, God continued to prove Himself faithful and mighty. God used Noah. And he could have easily said "No God." But he didn't say that. He said "Here I am." And God used and blessed him.
  I know my loving Father cares about my confusion, my depression, my weariness, fear & doubt. My Father understands ME, remember?!
  All of a sudden, it seems I've wanted to read the Word. I WANT to learn and grow. I want to know it, live it, and tell it to the world! Why keep it in?
  It's scary, yes -- "How do I go about this?" I ask over and over. Well--I'm learning to take things one step at a time.
