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
For HE knew I WAS DROWNING. 

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.....
