0630, on the beach with Luke; cold, raw, windy. Somehow, I am powerfully sensing gravity itself anchoring each footstep to the sand, and I hear His voice:
I have given you Direction, My son, My people: the very knowing of your up, down, front and back – towards ME, or away.
You know a constant you call gravity – true, constant, ever present. I AM that for your very soul. You can do naught else yet set your feet on the ground, and stand, walk – yes, even Kneel to ME. Stand, then, on Rock with your soul, as your feet stand on My very Earth. I will guide you – as you read My prophet Isaiah – I go before you, I am behind you. Read, then, My Word, which is My very chart for you.
You, all of you, are walking in Spirit more than you know, and have been – so you can do naught else but Trust Me. Draw near to me then, as scripture tells you, and I will draw near to you. Nearer than you can imagine, constant as the ‘gravity’ you ‘know’ to be real.
There is a pause, a waiting for me to catch my breath. I hear the surf, and in the surf, rocks tumbling together – no, they’re … clapping together with each incoming wave, and singing: ‘Yes! Hallelujah to the Lamb!’
Yes, My child, My ocean kisses the very Earth, the very Earth that caresses My very Atmosphere – that which you ‘know’ to always be there. Yes, I AM there, in the Earth, Air, Water – Yes, I AM that SPIRIT, that Fire, that Love, that Forever, that Infinite, yet that very caress, My touch, My kiss, My very breath in you.
Yes, I sing in Joy when you, My beloved ones, come to Me. OH HOW I LOVE YOU!
Will I ever, ever then, abandon you?
I, I AM, model for you, demonstrate for you – as Jesus – Love, as Power, as Rescue, as Provision, as Forever Faithful, as Truth.
As you have seen Me sift and save you, My Hand moves to transform and save.
Then He is silent, His words still ringing in my ears, as I recall the dream and parable of His sifting and saving us. Rocks still clap and sing in the surf.
