THE SUN
As I sit by
my computer in the morning, I watch the sun rise through the trees in
anticipation of the day, but on some days it does not shine. On those days I feel slightly less optimistic
and my contentment level drops. Then on
the days when the sun does show, the garden I see before me is transformed and
as the colors intensify my spirits lift.
It’s the same when the events of my life cast a grey shadow over
everything and everything looks dull and often hopeless. Enter Jesus, the sun in our lives. When I connect with Him, really connect, not
just pray words but connect mentally, emotionally and spiritually, everything
changes for the better.
There is no way to describe that to people who can’t or
won’t see it. There is nothing freaky
about it. It’s not weird. It is real.
I have tried to help others see this but I don’t have the words, maybe
there aren’t any. Maybe words are
useless here.
All I know is that when I am fully aware of His presence I
am whole. In Scripture when the boat holding
the disciples is rocking and their lives seem on the brink of extinction, Jesus
calms the waves. They are still in the
boat, which probably needs bailing, its still a ways to shore and the sky is
still dark but Jesus is with them and somehow they know they are safe. And so it is with us.
With love from Carol
