The Grace of a GazelleI was speaking to the Lord about obstacles in the relationship between us. It is easier to feel dissatisfied and frustrated than to know how the Lord sees the goal of my cleansing and healing. So I asked, “What do you want my spirit to be like?” What I was shown was nimbleness, moving confidently and lightly. I remembered as a boy crossing a flowing stream by leaping from stepping stone to stepping stone. If I saw a possible route using the rocks and logs, I had to launch myself confidently, allowing my mind and body working together to find a way across. If I overthought the next step and hesitated, I got wet feet. But by confidently flowing and leaping I not only kept dry but I had great joy in nimbleness, “flying” through the air!This then is the joy and flexibility the Lord is giving my human spirit. I love it! My spirit is a gazelle.
