This morning, during prayer, I had a vision… I was in an empty classroom. There were no chairs, books, or children. Jesus was sitting on the floor criss cross applesauce. I walked over to where He sat. Even though I was fully grown, I climbed into His lap where I immediately felt small. I began to thank Him for watching over me, protecting me, and guiding me. I was so happy to be in His arms. All I could do was thank Him. He stood up, and scooped me into His arms. He began to walk while carrying me like a father would carry a sleepy toddler. I asked Him where we were going. I am so nosey. He didn’t respond. The truth of the matter was that I didn’t care. I was with Him. So, I was super straight! As my head rested on the top side of His shoulder, I opened my eyes to look at the ground. I saw gravel. I wasn’t quite sure where we were, but where ever it was, the road was rocky. Then, I felt a brisk, cool wind. We were outside. Once more I began to lavish my love upon Him. I thanked Him for choosing me, for loving me, for shielding me. I began to sing in a soft whisper, “I love you Lord, and I lift my voice… to worship you. Oh my soul rejoice!” By the time I hit “take joy my King,” I was in full voice-belting out the tune that I prayed would be sweet, sweet sound to His ear. Jesus put me down on the ground. He stood in front of me, holding both my hands as I serenaded Him. He began to dance! I joined Him. We danced, and skipped, and jumped as we held hands! I proclaimed my love for Him joyously. Then, the tongues came. I prayed in the Spirit as I had been prompted. Next thing I know, Jesus knelt beside me and began to pray. At first, I was confused. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Why was He kneeling? All of a sudden it dawned on me. He was the Son praying to the Father-on my behalf! The vision ended. Family, fret not. YOU HAVE AN ADVOCATE! 1 John 2:1 says the Lord PLEADS your case before the Father! You are not alone! Keep pushing forward! You have an ally, and He fights for you! BE ENCOURAGED!!!
You approached a rocky road…even when the road of life gets rough as it some times will, Jesus is there to carry us and take care of us like a parent protects a child. A parent can’t stop every negative thing from coming our way, but can be there to comfort and support during the hard times. I am so thankful for a GOOD…GOOD Father that’s who He is! We are never alone even in times that we feel no one is there for us.
