Spiritual Life

Recently, I wrote about being a Hidden Jewel and the sense that sometimes God sidelines us from "out front" ministry for a season.  Jennifer, one of our readers, had this response:

"I visualize this journey much like a river, rushing, moving down hill until it pours out into a wider, flatter spot and comes to rest in a lake. Here there is time to float on the surface with the sun shining on my face and take in the beauty of His creation surrounding me. There are reflections in a pool of water that are not visible in rushing streams. It's refreshing. I am becoming aware of the depth in this place. Lakes are deeper than most places in the rivers after all. I am sensing an invitation to dive down and explore the depth. What more will I find there? I wonder.

Eventually the water will trickle out again forming another swiftly traveling river or maybe a more laid back, winding brook until, ultimately, it is embraced by the vast, eternal sea with its unique tides and currents. Until then, I am enjoying the lake."

Can you relate?
