“I waited patiently
for the Lord, and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up and out of a horrible
pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my
steps.”
This passage described exactly what I had experienced in
my visual – once again, I was overwhelmed!
It has since become a prophetic verse for me.
Some years later, another visual came to me—a little
plant growing out of rocks. We’ve all
seen a dandelion growing up through asphalt, a daisy creeping up through a crack
in the sidewalk, or a full-grown tree, thriving through a bed of rocks. Plants extend their roots toward a source of
water; they also curve around to reach the sun’s rays. What does that tell us? The plant’s reason for being here is to grow! This visual taught me: our reason for being
here is to grow. Some of us get
tremendous nurturing and some grow amidst rocky soil. Our growth is not only through nourishment
for our physical bodies but through nourishment of our spiritual selves. Even under the
worst of conditions, God’s love comes through our hearts and souls; and like
plants need water and sun, He feeds our souls even when we are downtrodden and
lost.
He will find a way to teach us; He will find a way to
give us messages of His Love—no matter how strongly we shut Him out. He sheds His Light on our life even when we are
filled with darkness. He is the One who sets our foot upon a rock, brings us out
of the miry clay, to receive His
Light. Grace.
Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving!
