Running away was the order of the day. The further I ran the more the past flooded my soul. “Oh God” I cried, “I’m useless at life! I cannot forget! I cannot forgive! People have been so cruel. I just don’t want to live.” So self absorbed was Me, Myself and I. We were one, my ego and I. Wallowing in the past, when all the time a quiet still voice was trying to attract my attention. Still staring at my sullen blue reflection, for a moment I paused, then I heard His voice!
“Come!” I heard the sound of my Masters voice. “You can walk on the water if you focus on Me. I will lead you through your valley of tragedy. There is healing and forgiveness in my hands. I stood up as I heard this beautiful voice of my Jesus. My focus changed and my eyes were fixed on Him, bright shining like the sun. The warmth of the Lords gaze embraced me. “I will turn your mourning into dancing and your sorrow into joy.” You will receive beauty for ashes and the garment of praise for the garment of heaviness. He grabbed hold of my hands and with whoops of joy we spun across this blue lake of my sorrow. Gone, gone, gone were the sins of the past, lost in the sea of forgetfulness.
