Encouragement
To
You,
O Lord,
I lift
up my
soul.
[Psalms 25: 1]
*********************
"I'm a big chicken,
Lord."
[NOD.]
[GENTLY NUDGE ONE
OF THE CRYSTALS
AROUND SATURN INTO
ITS RIGHTFUL PATH.]
(Impatient sqirm.)
"You don't UNDERSTAND!
I'm just plain..
SCARED!"
[PATIENT GAZE.]
[NOD TO A HUGE
ANGEL, WHO HAS
JUST RETURNED
FROM FIGHTING
A SPIRITUAL
BATTLE FOR ONE
OF HIS CHILDREN.]
[THE ANGEL WALKS
TO THE THRONE,
AND KNEELS DEEPLY:
HE IS ONE OF THE
MORE ATHLETIC-LOOKING
ANGELS OF THE KINGDOM:
NEEDING NO SWORD,
OR SPAN OF WINGS.
HE USES ONLY THE
INCREDIBLE STRENGTH
WHICH THE
LORD HAS GIVEN HIM.]
"Sometimes,
I'm so scared...
I can't even MOVE."
[CALM NOD.]
[QUIETLY GIVEN A COMMAND
TO THE BIG, ATHLETIC
ANGEL. ANGEL GAZES
WITH RAPT ATTENTION:
HEARING THE DETAILS
OF HIS NEW ASSIGNMENT.]
"I'm like that
guy, in the movies...
dancing along with
my shadow."
[NOD.]
[NOD, ONCE MORE,
AS THE ANGEL BOWS
DEEPLY, AND THEN
GETS UP FROM HIS
KNEELING POSITION
ON THE THRONE FLOOR.]
(Sigh.)
"Except..I'm
always running
away from it."
[SILENTLY WATCH,
AS ANGEL TURNS
AND WALKS PURPOSELY
TOWARD THE THRONE
ROOM DOOR. THE
HALO SITTING ATOP
HIS HEAD CASTS A
STRANGE LIGHT ON THE
BREADTH OF HIS MAGNIFICENT
SHOULDERS.]
"People have
told me...
I'm afraid of it."
[NODDING, ONCE
MORE, TO THE DEEP
BOW AGAIN, AS THE
ANGEL TURNS, BEFORE
RETURNING TO THE
BATTLE ON EARTH.]
[CALM VOICE.]
"What,
My beloved?"
(Irritable squirm.)
"My own SHADOW!"
[NOD.]
[CASTING A DEEP
SHADOW OVER
HIS EARTH.]
"Look behind
you,
My beloved."
"Nuh, uh.
I'm...too
SCARED."
[WHISPER TENDERLY.]
"Open your
eyes,
My beloved."
"Uh, uh!
Ya can't MAKE me!"
[PATIENT PAUSE.]
"Just open
your eyes,
child;
and look
at
Me."
**********************
In the
shadow
of
His hand
He has
hidden me.
[Isaiah 49:2]
