When we see wonders of our world...we always want to share. Think about a double rainbow- or that beautiful sunset- we run to take a picture or grab a loved one to SEE it with us!!
Imagine. Imagine you are on the edge of a high cliff looking out over the ocean and you are witnessing the most glorious sunset you have ever seen. The blazing view of it heats up your heart as it warms the cool blue ocean below. Magnificent red and orange hues expand and dance in the full sky all around you reminding you of who made this and His abundant love for you. It just fills you up. It is so remarkable that you've got to share. You run to grab your friends so they too can witness such a great site! Imagine all of your friends, relatives, neighbors your "sisters" standing with you on that cliff but they are unable to see any color or feel any warmth as you do? They aren't sure how you can see those clear colours you describe. They are stuck in a constant grey, feeling only a damp cool breeze and viewing a dull sky in the dusk of darkness. Each vision is clouded by a story of their own. Some strapped to bitterness, stuck in their hurts, disappointments, paralyzed from rejection, forgotten, soaked in sorrows held down by stones that feel like boulders. Dark grey like the rocks they drag around, at best, is all they can see. This is what they know. You feel desperate for them. You want nothing more than for them to feel that love and to see the colors of the sky. But how? You shout out a prayer to the blazing sky and God gently reminds you of His gift..." In Him there is no darkness"...no grey...no cold...just perfect light.
Imagine, as you experience this light that is so warming, brilliant and amazing that you stretch your right hand high into the sky becoming part of it....with your other hand you reach out and grab hold tight of that precious hand beside you, with love, hold it up high to the light and the sight just flows through you and pierces the darkness of grey and warms her body straight to the heart giving her vision of colour she never could have fathomed. Imagine then...her fingers touching her eyes in joy...wiping away tears and then she stretches her hand towards the heavenly sunset and with her other hand...grabs hold of that dear hand next to hers to share that magnificent peace. Imagine, all these sisters holding out a hand to the sky and reaching for the hand next to them as the light invades their eyes and love pierces their hearts. No matter how long it takes they just hold that hand, in love. The more they look the warmer it gets and the stronger their vision and love grows...and the more hands they grab.
Sharing the joy of vision and seeing those hearts being filled with the Light of Jesus would make you feel like the sunset you are beholding. Awesome. Touch and grab and hold high. Love and share as long as it takes. Imagine sisters everywhere emerging from the darkness together. Imagine, walking into the light with a clear crisp vision and a heart raging with a fire like the sunset that expands before them.
