You calm the storms in me

i found this yesterday when i was aimlessly searching the net for pics 'cos i was too tired to talk to people and too full to sleep... heh

check out the line between dark clouds and clear sky... and that beam of light from heaven
imagine this. Jesus standing between the dark and the light, with a single word calming the storm.

"Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm."
~Matthew 8:23-26

imagine. That's my God who is in me.

really like this pic... isnt the poor bunny rabbit cute? and that was us... broken torn and unwanted in the world, seeking someone who would love us. Jesus came to love us, though broken we are, and did not just leave us that way but patched us up and made us whole again for the world to see.

is this the picture in your head when you imagine God holding you?
it's mine in a small way i guess... yet it's so distant from God himself... imagine not just the hand but big great Daddy God hugging you..

i ask myself... 'who's hand is bigger?' and knowing the answer, i still wonder why i find it so hard to believe

then time and again i hear the spirit say "Let go my child, I will carry you, I will hold you close, I will weather your storm."
