I was driving my young son to pre school this morning and as I sat at a red light I looked to the East as I love to see the beautiful colours of the sunrise. This morning was grey. Overcast. So if there were pinks and oranges to be seen , I missed them. As I scanned the horizon I did see a small section that had just the slightest whisper of colour. then as my eye moved across I could see just the slightest hue of orange highlighting the edge of the clouds as if they were waves on the ocean. The hue seemed to brighten ever so slightly as my eyes moved from left to right. I picture started to develop in my minds eye of Jesus walking through the sky... all I could see was the hem of His robe. As He walked across the grey clouds would change to beautifully corrugated hues of orange and pink as if being in the near vicinity of His glory could change all that is dull and lifeless into a celebration of colour and light.
Then it occurred to me... "As if Jackie?? really? are you really asking as if?? I smiled to myself... of course. Thank you God again for loving me enough to give me this moment. I thought .. sometimes I feel like that section of grey sky... then Jesus whispers by me.... I feel the breath of his robe pass by. My heart leaps my eyes close , I feel His presence and need to breathe in deeply as momentarily I have been unable to do so. I am on my knees, eyes closed as if basking in the warmth of the sun... but it's even better... I'm basking in the warmth of the love of the SON. I am no longer grey, dull and lifeless, my heart and soul have been stirred, held so gently that I explode with colour and energy and love like the most vibrant sunrise.
