Dear child of mine, I invite you to curl up in my lap and sit in the light of my love and mercy. I know you are concerned and in deep emotional pain. I know that you are afraid to trust me because so many people have broken your trust. I know it is hard to trust me because my ways are not like human ways. You often feel betrayed when I don’t love you the way you expect me to, and I know that you are not yet able to understand my language of love.
So, come, curl up in my lap and rest. Let me sing comforting songs to you. Let me assure you that you are not alone and that you will not drown when you feel as though you are about to be overwhelmed by the raging waters of the sea. I am right here with you.
If you could only see how you are bound, like one tied up in a fishing net that is being tossed and turned on the raging waters of the sea. You cannot see all of the ropes that make up the net, but you can see ropes that seem more life-threatening to you than the other ropes. I ask you to trust that I sometimes have to loosen a rope that is more dangerous than others before I get to the one that frightens you the most. The fact that I am not untying the one that frightens you doesn’t mean that I am not at work or that I want you to sit in fear. I just need a little more time to take care of the ones that are a more serious threat to you right now.
I ask you to do your best not to panic or pull on the ropes in your fear and confusion. I need you to rest patiently while I work my way to that rope that frightens you. Otherwise, you get more entangled in the net, and it will take longer for me to get you out. At the same time you need to trust that no matter how much you struggle against the net, I will get you out. It will go faster if you just do your best to be patient. Come, sit in the light of my love, and find peace in me, your beloved one. Know that I have your eternal best in mind at all times. Know that I long for your joy and happiness more than you can ever know. Hold on to faith, to hope, and most importantly, to love.
Come, sweet child. Climb up into my lap and get some rest. Climb up here and sleep in the knowledge that I love you and will watch over you. Come, sweet child, and get your rest in me.
