The picture of the tree in its brilliant color of red when the sun shines on it.
The last few days I saw it, but by the time I got my camera,
The sun had shifted and the brilliance of the light on the red was gone
And the color looked ordinary, not spectacular...
But today, I captured it...
What a brilliance the light on the tree gives to its color.
The resting place that our Beloved has for us is "Luxurious, like a green forest
Bathed in light" Song of Songs 1:16.
Our Beloved wants us to bring our circumstances, our worries,
To the resting place He has prepared for us.
And when we do,
He baths the picture, the circumstance, the worry,
In the Light of His truth and glory,
And slowly the picture changes.
When the light is turned on, the darkness has to flee,
The "what if's, the fear, the anxiety, the despair.
Yes, when He baths the picture in the Light of His truth and love,
The brilliance of Hope emerges,
As He brings our hearts to Rest.
Rest in His bigness, His goodness, His grace...
Without the light my circumstance remains in the natural,
The striving, the "barely making it," the gloom.
The Light makes all the difference,
It opens the heavens so I can receive what the Father desires for me.
Thank you Lord for bathing my picture in Your Light.
Hope is arising and an anticipation of Your goodness to me is bursting forth.
