JESUS!

it’s amazing to me just how much the Lord is in the details of our lives.

I was walking home from work feeling a little sad. Not for any specific reason, really. I had just listened to a “Faith Bomb” that I had done about my seasonal depression and how the Lord was there for me. I remembered what a heavy time that was and it brought that sadness to the forefront.

Why does this sadness have to show up?

Then, not two minutes into this walk, I saw something on the ground. I passed it, but as I walked further on, I had this thought to turn around and go pick it up. Weird. I don’t usually pick up trash off the ground and this little lump of something had been run over by a car or many cars! It had collected all kinds of traffic dirt but I heeded the thought and turned around and picked it up.

I could see through the dirt one color. Red. I held this little squishy thing until I got home and then ran it under water and gave it a little scrub. By now I’m sure you know what I found… it was a little Jesus! I had seen a few around and had heard some little miracles connected to these little Jesus’s but not on my watch!

It reminded me of this little experience I had just recorded, specifically the part where I heard Jesus say to me “I am the Son and am brighter than the Sun. Keep your eyes on me.” A little reminder that I just need to keep my eye on Him. He can bring me Peace. If I keep my eyes on Him, His brightness and love overshadows my sadness. I just need to remember.

He is there if we take the time to look for Him. He didn’t take the sadness away but He reminded me of our relationship and that He was just right there, like He has been time after time.

He knows us, He loves us, He understands us and He can succor us wherever we are.
