The next day she looked out her window and He was sitting on top of the far wall. With ease He jumped down into the maze and her heart skipped a beat. What was He doing? She had not agreed to finally meet Him face to face! That night she tossed and turned. She was in a cave sitting in complete darkness, and she was terrified. There was a chill in the air, and she wanted out as fast as possible. She shakily stood up and grappled her way to the wall, tripping over rocks and skinning her knees. She walked for what seemed like hours, and finally sank to her knees exhausted, and began to weep. She cried into the darkness,
” Where are you? I need you! I’m scared!” Still silence, and no reply. ” Don’t give up on my please! I’ll follow you, just bring me out of here!” she wept and buried her face in the dirt.
A wind blew in through the cave and she suddenly felt someone right beside her. She knew it was Him as His fingers intertwined in with hers and He lifted her off the cold earth. Together they walked hand in hand in a comfortable silence. Each step she took she could feel burdens falling off of her shoulders and disappearing into the emptiness she was leaving behind. Finally she saw the light at the opening of the cave and stepped into it, breathing in the fresh air; Life. it was the most beautiful scene she had ever witnessed. Mountains surrounded her on all sides and the river winding between them in the valley was the deepest blue, but even from this distance she felt she could see to the bottom of it. She walked to the edge of the cliff, and spread her arms wide surrendering to whatever this moment had. He held her there, and she was no longer afraid. If she jumped he would catch her. Fear no longer had it’s grips on her.
