Beach Revelations

Pacific Grove, California 

Him to me:

“My child…

Why are you looking down at the ground

To find earthly treasured

Bits of broken glass

Broken glass

That is all that the treasures of this world are.

Tiny shells

Discarded home of long dead animals

They don’t need them anymore

Neither do you 

Why do you look

Towards other faces than Mine

Those faces are a gift from me to you

But I am the Prize

Look to Me, my child

I am all you need

I am everything you need.”

Me to Him:

“ My Lord…

I want to be cherished and adored

I want someone to look at me

And see all they want

I want to know

That someone is looking out for me

I want to know

That someone wonders

Where I am and what I am doing

I want to know

Someone is looking for me to see if I am safe

I want someone to do for me

And care about me

The way I try to do for others

It hurts to always be second best

To be never quite enough

To never be quite the perfect one

That someone has hoped for

Always second best

Good friend

Lovable person

But never quite enough.

Lord, can you find me someone

who will do all these things.

Him to me:

“Oh, my darling child

You stand on the rocks here

And watch my creation

I know you love it

But you are looking through Me

To see my beautiful sea

Don’t you see my darling child

That all you want

You already have in Me

I always am those things to you

But you seem to miss Me

In your search for first place

I talk to you in the chirping of a gull

When I look down at you and shine My sun on you

I see all I want

I look out for you and wherever you are I am too

I always know what you are doing

I surround you in my love to keep you safe

You need to understand this

When you care about others

And try to do for them

As I see you do in so many ways

The reason is this and it is My constant joy

For I have created you in my image

And you have chosen to follow

Whats built inside.

So don’t miss the boat

That I send into the harbor for you

It is filled with all you say you need

Do not look for what you need

In the shops on the dock

Climb aboard and come to Me

I am waiting to give you all you need.

Here is My word in an invitation I already sent to you...

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Matthew 11:28-30 

And when you come you will finally find

All that you’ve been looking for.”
