Prompt: All Things Are Possible

15 mins

“All things are possible.”

I close my eyes to connect with your words. It is my life source and the first place I look when I’m not sure what to do next. My eyes are closed, and I sense aromatic vapors. It does not smell good. I sense Jesus next to me. He is on my left this morning.

We are standing in a cobblestone alley. This is not 2020 anything. This is older. The cobblestone has seen and carried uncountable burdens. Its dark. The vapors appear as a converging smoke-filled fog with smells accompanied by mildew and manure. This is a place of captivity.

I want to ask, “why are we here” or “what are we doing,” but my spirit already knows. There is someone important to my King in this place. The alley is completely dark. Even the shadows seem to cast even darker silhouettes. There are things in this place that would shut down our expedition. My soul would read this situation as impossible if she did not feel the reassuring touch of his mane.

The alley turned labyrinth as my steps matched his. We found the door; my best friend’s knock sent my whole system into reception mode. Who will I see today? My gentlemanly redeemer waited. The silence only vibrated the faint leftovers of his knocking. Even the smog refused to disrupt the quiet.

“Jesus?” a faint whisper slowly arose to our ears. He gently opened the door. A tiny, dirty body laying in the sludge looked back up at us with relieved yet terrified eyes. Tears escaped mine. My spirit is pulling out her wash basin and fancy sponges instinctively, leaving my soul wondering how she even fit that into her fanny pack. Oh, that supernatural inheritance!

Jesus cleaned him. His hair turned into shiny bronze at the sprinkling of His blood and washing with living water. I watched my lover clothe him in beautiful olive garments, enhancing the boy’s brilliant topaz eyes. Their shine is like fire. His transformation is complete once you’ve equipped his genuine smile. The joy of the Lord is my strength.
