Path of Life

Today I saw myself in a field, so green so rich, the grass was tall, and light, blowing in the wind. Your presence was hovering over this field. I looked to the right and then to the left, so much grass I couldn't see where it began or ended. It captivated me in every way. There was so much beauty, and a stillness. It was like I could smell the air, so crisp with just the perfect amount of moisture. The sky was blue and the sun was shining down on me. I never really saw the sun, I just felt it, like my whole body was taking it in. I felt your presence. Then it was as I was high above looking at myself being led by Your Son, who had a sword of some kind cutting out a path before every step I took. I saw the field of grass on both sides, and ahead of me, but a perfect path was being cut out just for me. Then I was there behind Him, I couldn't take my eyes off Him, He was leading the way, and I was following. Cutting down the grass before me. He turned and smiled, but only my heart and soul could see His face, to my eyes it's as the most perfect light I've ever seen. At this moment I thought I don't care where you take me I will follow you anywhere. It's all I wanted to do, to be in this field with You Lord, where your presence is everywhere, and Jesus leading my way, carefully cutting out my path, knowing where to go and asking me to follow. Today I decided not to take my eyes off of Him, with every step He took I took, knowing that this was the path for me. Knowing that He is leading my way, and to trust in Him always. After I wrote this the Lord led me to this passage. I feel as David felt when he wrote these words.

I have set the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my
tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to
the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One
see decay.
You made known for me the
path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your
presence
Psalm 16:8-11

amazing, Keri. As I have recently struggled some to let Him lead me, some of my "first born" traits are rebelling. God reassured me through this post that He is making more than just a path for me, but a beautiful, joyful, wonderful, fufilling, perfect path for me. For each of us!

I also would LOVE to go to that field.

wow keri,
what a beautiful post. i got goosebumps! the most awesome thing is that He is waiting to take us all on that journey through that field on His path. but sometimes I run ahead and get lost in the meadows...or I slow down and forget to keep my eyes on the light...or even get distracted by someone else's path. what a blessing that He gave you this vision and scripture. thanks for sharing it with me!
