Picture:
I was listening to Waiting here for you by Christy Knockles and I saw myself standing in deep water feeling like I was going to drown, it was called grief and sadness.
Then I saw Jesus lovingly pick me up and carry me over it. I made me understand that it was important for me to go into the grief and sadness... and that the only way to experience this was for Him to gently dip me in a little at a time so I could get used to the feel of it, then He would guide me as He held my hand tightly and He would only let me go so far, then He would scoop me up again into His loving embrace. It was a wonderful feeling and I look forward to each day, with Him holding me tightly, gently traversing this great body of water, grief and sadness.
Your Hand

I see the body of water, it looks dark and scary
Its name: Grief and Fear
I cannot face this alone..
I want to slip into that river: Denial (and you thought it was in Egypt)
To face Grief and Fear I need a companion
A helping hand
Stretched out to scoop me up in troubled waters
A Safe Harbor in the rough seas
I am more than grateful for Your Hand
Your Love and Faithfulness to me
Your Guidance and Support
And those you send as blessings.
Like Job, sitting in Grief and Sadness
I can be surrounded by loved ones
Willing to just be with me
Willing to listen and hope to understand.
Your Hand of Blessing
Always Constant
Always Willing
Always here for me.
