There are a lot of visuals that help me make sense of my life and understand it better. Pictures “click” with me. Also I didn’t mean for that to be a pun…
Anyways tonight I have the picture of a girl floating in the ocean. With arms outstretched and legs parallel to the horizon she lies peaceful and trusting. Instead of wrestling with the waves she chooses to lie still in surrender and grace. Usually when we wrestle the last place we want to be is flat on our backs but until we are, we are constantly treading water. When we are flat on our backs in the ocean of grace we have a direct view of the Son. In this form we stop trusting our own hands and feet and we trust something, someone, much greater. Ears underwater we are left to hear His voice in the stillness. Other sounds are literally drowned out.
Surrender to the shape of a cross and your burden is light. It’s so light in fact, you can float on grace. So light you can rest in everlasting arms around you. You are enveloped in his love. Peaceful enough to be still and know that He is God. In this posture, with arms outstretched, you are open to receiving and giving.
