JOY

Imagine,

if you will, with me- A warm summer’s day, the sun as golden as the coins that jingle in your pocket. He invites you to sit.....you settle down as your long black hair gently sways in the sweet wind. He takes your hand and beckons, with such excitement in one touch....and you wonder.....wonder why me, what beauty does He find in me....that I should be called His Queen....and you sit....the tall green grass tickles your legs and arms, and such color He paints with! Such deep shades of Green, eluding to something new, something that has not yet come, but is on the verge of breaking forth!

Gazing into the eyes of this new love, you expect yourself to shrink back, becoming all-to familiar with the pain that floods your heart....but it never comes. Shocked that you cannot take your eyes off this man you gaze longer...

You lie down with Him....in the grass, the tall grass...a strange noise rises up from the deepest part of you.....it gets louder stunned you find it to be giggles, gut laughter....and your eyes shine with a Joy that no one can fathom. They dance with the Fire of the His Spirit...light emanates from your being....and you find yourself telling Him that He is silly. "It’s not a bunny, it’s a cat", rolling your eyes with contagious laughter your glance back to the baby blue sky....

No cares, you living in Him - He living in you...............


That’s who Jesus tells me I am...........once a vague memory.........now coming to life.......REALLY JESUS!?!


NOTE: I was in the prayer house about two days after I wrote "Grasping" that’s when He asked me to close my eyes and that’s when Jesus and I had a talk....or a laugh......either way.....It was GREAT!
