"The Feather"

This morning as we started our "Flow" meeting, there was a stirring of emotions inside of me. I was surprised because what surfaced was feelings of hurt, anger, loneliness and not really being understood by others. "What's going on God?" "Why was this coming up now?" The music that I started the meeting with this morning was the theme song from Forrest Gump. As the music played I saw that feather that was floating from place to place at the beginning of the movie and it represented me. As that feather flew, the Lord took me back to my childhood; as a little boy some of the feelings that I experienced as a child was the same feelings that I was feeling this morning. God took me through a few scenes of my past and it was hard to look at, but as I saw the feather land there I was at home with Him in my Father's House with God the Father. I sensed His warmth, protection and comfort. It was just me and the Lord sharing and spending time together. He saw my hurt, tears, struggles and fears and with a whisper of His voice it all melted away. It was fantastic!!!

There's a sense of peace right now as I'm writing this. I know that I'm not completely healed from the brokenness and hurt I experienced through this journey called life. But I am certain that God will pick up my broken pieces and place them back one by one until I'm truly home with Him. You and I don't need to deal with our struggles alone; the Lord knows everything about us and He's with us 24/7. He knows exactly what we're going through, each of our struggles, hurts, fears, loneliness, etc. Spend a few minutes and allow the Lord to touch you through the power of His Holy Spirit. Become as light as a feather and may we all float and flow with His Spirit wherever He takes us.

Blessings,
