COME AS A CHILD
COME AS A CHILD:
This came to me as i was laying down and relaxing to fall asleep.
I was following Jesus on a path of rocks (similar to the picture)
"OUCH!" i said the rocks were hurting my feet as i walked on them and i tripped over a bigger rock on the path. The Holy Spirit said (I knew he was next to me) Psalm 91:12 to me "They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone"
I looked at Jesus and he laid a fabric down for me. such a relief because i remember the rocks being pretty hot. "much better" i said as i started to follow him more swiftly.
Then Jesus laid down another fabric on top of the first one (these are very long pieces of fabric)
"NOW this feels good" i thought to myself. i no longer felt the rocks that were hurting my feet and making me focus on the ground and my steps. Now i was moving so swiftly and fast paced.
A THIRD fabric he laid down and he said "Your walk will become easier now. The more you trust i am laying the path the easier it becomes"
Then i realized I was a child version of me, and i just starred at Jesus. He starred back at me. We just starred, all sound stopped and it was a sense of heavy tangible peace.
There is rest in him. We are his children, he wants us to rest in the security of him being our Father! When you were little do you remember admiring your parents? your Dad? Thinking he was a super hero? That anything was possible with Dad? It's that same child-like admiration we have to keep ourselves in. Would a child argue with doctrine? Would a child judge? Would a child act pridefull? well maybe, but only because they are confident in who their Father is! We should always remain fascinated and excited about God, I encourage you to press into the knoledge of God, the mysteries of God, the deep wells he has stored inside of us. Amen!
