At a CommunionFire meeting last night as I was slowly eating the bread, the Body of JESUS (my eyes closed) I saw Jesus and we were standing on the beach looking our over the ocean. As we did He pointed out the herd of Dolphins swimming by.
The Dolphins were 'dancing' through the waves sometimes jumping high and then diving in and sometimes like a group of jet planes skimming along the surface. It was beautiful!
Then when I took the Cup and drank the wine, the Blood of JESUS it was like I could hear the voice of the Holy Spirit saying, "This is a picture of God's grace in the Sea!" It felt and looked right somehow. Any time I have watched the dolphins I remembered that it was mesmerizing. Your heart leaps when they leap. Your thoughts are filled with phrases that make you grin. "Sweet!" "Wow, look at that one!" "They look like they're having fun!" Its almost as if watching the 'dance of the dolphins' makes your heart tap in rhythm with each splash.
Isn't that like the Grace of JESUS. Grace gives without reserve and splashes like sunlit waters into our hearts. Grace moves with grace. Grace doesn't blink. On occasion there is Great Grace and like the dolphins, leaping heavenward, it appears to break passed gravity of this life, leaping sky high smiling with Great Joy!
Thanks Lord for giving me your perspective last night. All day today i reflected on the boundless sea of mankind and how joyfully and marvelously your Grace swims among us.
"And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace upon grace upon grace upon grace upon grace... For the law was given through Moses; but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:16-17
