Swept away (part 2) Tears streamed down my face As I fought with what little strength I have left. Drinking mouthful after mouthful of sea water, I felt as if something was tugging at my feet. I was slowly slipping into a black world. Suddenly, like a gift from above A bigger piece of wood floated by my side. Accompanied by the roar of an eagle. I stared at the plank with disbelieve. It was big enough for me to lie on it. Clinging to the little glimmer of hope I have I began to struggle towards the wood. I had to get to it, I just had to, My life depended on it. Managing painful after painful stroke, I paddled slowly towards my goal. But the plank seems to be getting further away, and the seas seem to be getting rougher Fear overcame me as I realised that I cannot get to the plank by my self. "Help me, Lord" I gave one last desperate call. The One that had bought me this far must be the only One that can safe me. He is my only Hope. The sky was darkening, With dark rolling clouds along the horizon. Signalling a storm was fast approaching. I cling onto the small plank, as I stared in dismay as the big piece of wood was slowly vanishing. "I need You so much, Lord, safe me" I called out His name frantically. It started to pour heavily, With lightning streaking through the dark sky, Thunder booming threatheningly in the distance. I closed my eyes and said what was to be my last prayer. "Father, I'm so sorry that I did not trust You I'm so sorry that I relied on my own strength instead of You. So sorry. Father please forgive me." Waves crashed voilently around me I was being tossed again, This time, I was sure that I could not hang on any longer. I felt the gushing wind tore through my hair. I will hold on as long as I am conscious, Because He promised to deliver Me. The familiar voice came into my head "Let go now, and I will carry you" I blinked, first in unbelief and then with relief. But when I was about to let go, I saw a huge wave coming straight at me. But Father, there's a big wave heading towards me. "Trust Me, I will carry you" But the wave... "Be still now, My beloved, do you trust Me?" But Father, I cannot possibly survive... "Do you trust Me?" I do. I surrendered. I let go. I trust. "Have faith, My child, have faith in Me." I was swept away once again by the sea, strangely, the anticipated fear and panic was gone. I felt as if I was taken away from the raging sea, from my worries. Into a place where peace trancends, A secret place where I am found, In His grace and mercy. A place where there is true hope A place where there is true love. "Well done, My faithful servant You now know where your home is, and I have great plans for you So that my name will be glorified and praised to the ends of the earth." "Just be still and trust in Me, For I am a God that stays the same. I shall equipt you with the things you need to fulfill My purpose in your life. Just follow me." I awoke and found myself laying on the plank that fell from the sky. at the shore where I was first swept away. Above the sun shone through the clouds, playing it's beautiful rays on the beach. Up above, the familiar roar of an eagle was again heard, I stared at one of God's magnificent creation. I am saved for a purpose, a purpose for Him. I am saved for a reason, which is His Love for me. suitlin testified at 02:33 am
