He Walked On Water All my life I searched for a place where I could belong, a place of peace, a place where I could give love to a soul in need: for my soul cried out for love-- for sanctuary where my heart would find peace and rest . . ..
Through turmoil and defeat, I was slowly able to lift my eyes; to open them enough to see the light of Jesus Christ--
The horizon of my life became illuminate with color and beauty !
As a child of God I became an ocean -- many Tides and many Storms would come my way. . . and through these temporary sorrow's drowning, my Savior Of Life came and lifted my broken spirit from the depths of my pain.
As I floated on the surface of the crystal water, I was given the most incredible gift. I was able to lift my hands and feel the tender touch of God --
He softly caressed my soul and spirit into a new life . . .
From the moment I was blessed with this gift, my entire being was an open wound, yet absent of any pain . . . an intense healing . . .
My glorious surrender . . . as I fell upon my knees at HIS feet.
Without pity nor despising my weakness, HE fell beside me . . . taking my position on the depths of the ocean . . . Giving unto me HIS breath and the Restoration of my life. . . WITH meanings . . . with
The Sincerity of the only true love available in this world. . . .HE Would Come To Me Though Absent Was My Path . . . .
I had sealed off help-- I . . . helpless for recovery from my darkness . . . Until he saw me from afar, and gathering the storms unto Himself, HE took the risk, even as they nailed him to a tree, put a crown of thorns on his head . . .
And then, YOU know what HE did?
YES!! HE Gave HIS Life For Me!
He Gave His Life for me He saw me take my last breath and risked his life. He felt me die as I slowly sank to the bottom, he looked at me with love . . . and he walked on water.....
