There is a place I often go. It’s a shaded path with majestic trees and jutting paths that meet open meadows. The destination is usually a grassy knoll, where I lie with Jesus. On the way we dart into the trees, and explore the unmarked areas. There are fields of wildflowers, prairie grass, and Light.
Always Light.
Sometimes, we walk into what appears to be dark areas… but Light is always just ahead of our gait.
This past week, when I was on a team debrief in Vietnam, the Lord gave me a glimpse of our place in the physical world. A place He had to talk me out of normal, to experience.
“Trust me! Get out of your coffee shops and come explore with Me; I have fields of wildflowers for you,” He said.
The next day, I went walking in Vietnam’s capital. There, in the middle of the city was a beautiful green park. I instantly kicked off my shoes and walked around, marveling at the soft massage walking on wet grass provides.
Singing out praises and jumping with joy.
It was a breath of joy in the middle of painful heart surgery.
So, where is the place you visit with Jesus? If you don’t have one yet, I invite you to ask Him where He wants to visit with you.
“How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.”
Psalm 139:18-19
