She sat there, dazed, sitting amongst the flowerbeds in the morning haze. Her plush lips shone with her sparkling eyes as she looked to the luminescent sky where the moon gazed upon her curvaceous body. This seemed a dream, a mere unreality where space and the essence of time was illusory. A silhouette was painted before her, protruding from the radiant sky. The small mushrooms squelched beneath her bare feet whilst the fireflies drifted carelessly above her angelic head. She stared at the diminutive lights as they simultaneously lit up the enigmatic forest surrounding her.
The woman questioned her surroundings. Was it all real? Nothing could unveil reality to her...nothing she could observe would determine whether she was in reality or a sheer fantasy. Yet there was something within her that rose up. An assurance that determined her perception. A sound was heard. The young lady turned her eyes left to see a large figure shaped as a man’s body. It held its hand outstretched beckoning the woman to come towards it. She could almost read its body language...’trust me’ it said. Getting up from the spongy bed the woman’s eyes emphatically stayed agape for she was tired. Her body resisted movement. The fireflies around her started to move erratically increasing their intensity of light. Her mind began to question this man’s existence then only to realise the mushrooms clutching at her feet, tightening their grasp at every struggle she tried to persist with. The woman didn’t know where to turn to, her frail hands flapped carelessly in fear. The tall figure was less visible now...almost hidden amongst the undergrowth, an opaque radiance surrounding him. She struggled harder only to find the trees surrounding her pulling the woman to the ground with their mossy roots. Her eyes flicked back and forth looking for an answer, something to turn to. She finally started to reach her hand out to the empowering form desperate for his aid believing, just for one moment that he was existent. The tangled roots below her gradually eased. The mushrooms slowly sunk back into the soil as the woman’s eyes remained fixed upon the man. His opaque glow increased in intensity again. The fragile woman gasped as the man pulled her from the earth with open arms. She wrapped around his body with awe. He smiled warmly as the glow seeped away into the man’s flesh. It was then the woman realised. He was real.
We all need faith sometimes. Sometimes it’s only in the most desperate of times that the Lord comes to your aid. To call on someone so incredibly powerful we need that faith. To believe that he is truly real. Enjoy your week guys.
