I awoke this morning remembering a dream that has stayed with me all day, and I hope I shall never forget. The place and time were insignificant, as were my surroundings. I only recall my feelings.
In the beginning I was uncertain, insecure, even lost and afraid, when suddenly I felt strong arms surround me from behind. Instantly my fear and insecurity were gone. I was not surprised or taken aback, though this was certainly not expected. I seemed simply to accept and feel immediately calmed, comforted and strengthened by this "anonymous" support. I then moved ahead confidently, and those strong, safe Arms stayed wrapped around me as I went. At one point the Arms laid me down to rest, while staying secure and strong around me, yet still unseen.Together we then arose and moved on, until finally I got a fleeting glimpse of just a bit of His face:
"He didn’t have an impressive form or majesty that we should look at him, no appearance that we should desire him." (Isaiah 53:2b CSB)
Yet I knew Who had me wrapped in His Arms:
"He lets me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He renews my life;
he leads me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even when I go through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger,
for you are with me;"
(Psalm 23:2-4 CSB)
This song expresses beautifully how I felt. I pray you feel the same. 💗
