Each morning when I wake up I spend a few minutes meditating. I have found that it helps bring clarity, vision, and purpose into my day. The days that I neglect to meditate always turn out very different, in a negative way. So I have found myself looking forward to my me time. :) This morning as I was meditating I learned something pretty cool. Here is my visual to explain the lesson.
I was walking on the beach wearing a long white flowing dress. It was a peaceful day with a light breeze. I was twirling and just enjoying the beauty around me when suddenly an enormous wave comes up and it's shaped like a face with it's mouth gaping open. I was overcome with fear and immediately started to run but the wave engulfed me and no matter how hard I tried I could not free myself of it's grasp. It was too strong, too heavy, the water too deep. Eventually my muscles gave out and I couldn't breathe. I sunk to the bottom. As my eyes were starting to close and the water settled I could see the Savior standing above me on top of the water. His right hand reaching into the water to pull me up but he was too far, too out of reach, I didn't have the strength or even the cognition to reach for him. My hand that was outreached fell to the sandy ground and I passed out. Right before I passed out I heard the words "Right now, your desire alone is enough. Do you want my help?" I nodded my head and my eyes closed. Then I saw in my minds eye, the Savior part the waters so that my breathless body was on dry ground. He picked me up and took me to the shore and lay me down on the beach. I woke up coughing and gagging and saw him sitting next to me a short distance away, watching the sea. This bothered me that when I woke up he wasn't standing or sitting over me watching to make sure I was okay, to make sure I could breathe again. I guessed he knew I was okay but I was still upset that His face wasn't what I woke up to, instead I had to look for him, only for a brief moment, since he was so close, but I was still bothered that He wasn't watching over me. He was a picture of perfect calm and I noticed; so was the sea.
That is where the scene ended. It left me wondering, why was he not standing over me when I awoke? Why was he looking away from me? So I asked Jesus. Why are you turned away from me? Why were you not watching over me? I heard him say "I was watching over you. I calmed the sea and I made sure nothing engulfed you while you were unconscious and coming to your senses."
I thought..."This is beautiful Lord, how can or does this apply to my everyday life?"
He answered "I got you not matter where you are at. No matter your capability, no matter how weary. Even if all you can do is have a desire, I can work with that. It's all in My hands. I have the power to help you in any way that I choose. No trial is too big, heavy strong, deep, or dark. I have conquered them all and the way out is easy and clear to me."
May you look to Him in your deepest, darkest moments and know that He is never too far or out of reach and He will come to your aid.
