Cardinal Direction
You know we always hear the cardinal represents someone who has gone before us… but what if that someone is just Jesus?
This bird repeatedly comes to feast at the fence outside my kitchen window almost daily and when it isn’t here I was given a porcelain one for a daily reminder…
… and this is my revelation today that now I can’t unknow: I miss Caleb to my core, but it’s Jesus Christ who I long to see face to face. Somedays I just want to go home to be with Him; some days I want to fight and grow His Kingdom.
Today it’s a 50/50 day. He is so good and faithful to me and I’ll win whichever; today, tomorrow or years from now when my time is done.
I’ll go see my Jesus and my Caleb (I won’t be lost for anyone or anything no matter the hell some put me through)… but for now I’m still here remembering Christ died for me, to save me from every weight, every day. It may be heavy but I have breath and will praise the Lord. This is the day He made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!
He is a good Father and the closest, dearest friend (that just sticks to me!) I could ever hope for; that’s why I love Him. He knows me by name and loves me more than I could ever love Him. He is as big as we make Him to be (and that will never even be as big as He really is!).
My trusted companion, my heart, my world, my love, my peace, my safe place, my rock…
My Jesus!
