I spoke with Him today...

(above)
This is my own interpretation of Jesus' face, taken from the Holy Shroud of Turin. (The Shroud of Turin is the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in after anointing his body with oils in the ancient, traditional way the Jewish people did, during the burial process) I am the artist that created this sketch of Jesus, in my eyes.

The Holy Shroud of Turin, with my sketch in the bottom right corner, to compare with the actual facial cloth from his body at burial.

He told me He would Never leave me,
nor forsake me….

I have been made to believe that I am no longer
close to Him.
I have been led to believe that I am not doing His will.

I spoke with Him today,
I cried to him with tears that blinded me from
seeing through my own physical eyes…
I felt small, and humbled myself before Him.
I asked Him why I am so alone…
I asked Him why I feel so abandoned…
I begged Him to forgive me…
To show me where I have gone wrong…

He told me I have been forgiven;
That I was forgiven when I opened my
heart to Him, and let Him in;
many years ago in my own lifetime...
He showed me I have never been alone...
He told me that I have always been close to Him.
He told me that I am not wrong…
although I did walk the wrong path for a short while…
He said He is glad that I am back.
He made me see that I am a good, and loving child; that I am special to Him...
He showed me that I have always been accepted.
He told me that just by being me,
I am doing as He wishes for me.
He touched my heart, and made me see that I am a woman
that is the glorification of man;
A rare, and gentle breeze that was made to caress the man he gives me to.
That I was created to be a special gift...
That every man needs a gentle and loving companion.

I asked Him why I have been put aside,
if I was made to be a gift for a man…

He answered me.

He said that many men see and hear His word through
the voices of men that do not understand Him.

He said that there are many people that claim to
preach His word, and preach with their own
misunderstanding; this misleads the most honest
of innocent men.

He said that His voice is the voice we need to be listening to;
not the voices of those who say they
know His word, when they are merely speaking
their own interpretations of what they
perceive to understand.

I knew this had to be made clear to others.
I knew I had to set aside more time
to speak to, and to listen to our Lord, Jesus.
