When It Feels Like a Desert

When life feels like a desert...

with sun blazing stifling heat melting your innards,

dry winds blowing gritty sand into your eyes,

and prickly plants scratching your skin...

When you can't find a better perspective

because your legs won't rise up under the pressures

and you find yourself lying face down...

reach out to find a softness like no other, a lamb's ear,

and find your oasis and comfort in sharing your suffering

with the Lamb, who is worthy.

...and he [John] looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

John 1:36

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne

and the living creatures and the elders;

and the number of them was myriads of myriads,

and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,

"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches

and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."

And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth

and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them,

I heard saying,

"to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb,

be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.

Revelation 5:11-13
