This morning I saw a picture of a path through trees. Just out of sight where it looked like the path took a turn to the right, the sun rays diffused into a yellow/white screen where the trees could be faintly seen behind. Further on ahead, the path continued.
As I stared at this picture, words of Jesus swirled in my head. He was speaking to his disciples about leaving them and what lay ahead. He said He had many things to tell them, but they could not bear them now.
It’s still true. He has many things to speak to us now, but we can’t bear them now. How many times I want to know answers to things, and when they come, I am so glad I didn’t know when I actually asked. He has many things to speak to our hearts, but we don’t know how to listen. We don’t know what to do with His words.
As I looked deeper into the picture, I noticed that the path does not veer to the right where the sunrays are, but it goes straight ahead. What a surprise! I had to spend time gazing before I could see the truth. The road goes straight. The sun comes alongside. The picture invited me to come into it.
The impression of His words floated deep into my soul, You see, Child, I still walk close to you. Last week, I begged you to come away with Me. You see that I have straightened the path and lit the way. I’ve given a glorious way. Listen to My words of love. You know that no one comes to My Father except through Me. How eagerly I long to bring you, My Bride, to My Father. He already approves. Come, let’s walk together.
Child of God, He longs for you and me to walk with Him. He’s prepared the road. He is the Light by our side. He longs to speak words of love to us. He wants to take us to His Father. Can we hear Him? Can we believe in His love?
The path is straight. He is the Light by our side. Let us allow Him take our hands and go where He leads.
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” John 16:12.
