I asked the Lord more about that place He had brought me- the one with the diamond pathway, willow trees and the fountain:
We were sitting on the bench swing underneath the weeping willow when I said “tell me more about this place”– instantly the scenery changed, it was now gloomy and overcast. The once green trees were dark and no longer had their leaves – they were dead and dry. I saw that the pathway had dried up as well and had turned to gravel and dirt. The temperature wasn’t cold but it also wasn’t warm like it had been. The fountain that was before me now was broken- only a little spout of water bubbled out of it – there were cracks in its structure and it looked unstable. Even the water flow was inconsistent because of the damaged structure and what I understood to be a piping issue with low water pressure. The tree our swing hung from was still alive and well- thriving.
I was confused. What happened to this place?
I asked Him to give me understanding and He told me to look again. He didn’t speak with next part but gave the interpretation to my spirit.
“This has always been our place and this tree has always and will always have life because I am here and I am. Long before you ever knew me and long before you would ever come and sit with me, I was here. The fountain produced living water long before this place was given life because my fingerprint is on you- the source of life has always been available, everything that looks dead and dry is what this placed used to look like before you started to come and sit with me. I make beauty from ashes- this place has always represented your life/our relationship. The place that had once been desolate and broken is now where we play and rest!”
The dead place was beyond recognition to me- Thank you Jesus!!!
The scenery changed again, only this time it was familiar- it was back to the place I had originally seen- with one exception: the fountain was growing, I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the increasing amounts of rushing water, it sounded like a large waterfall.
He said, “This is where I want to bring you”
My view zoomed out and around our secret place I saw what was dry and cracked- gloomy all around. Each area looked different, each special- in every area I saw the Lord waiting and I saw who he was waiting for.
Then I saw the waterfall in our place start to seep into the ground- the water was spreading out from the edges of our secret place onto the others. Every place the water went, life came forth.
“This is where I am sending you”
(Throughout all of this, even though my view switched and changed, me and Papa were still always sitting on the swing together: intimacy & relationship.)
