When reading the title of this...one might think, "what is she talking about?" I spent many hours trying to come up with a name for my new blog. This name really describes alot of my inner thoughts and dreams and conveys the peace in my soul that can only be found through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
As a child, I was a daydreamer. I found myself drifting off dreaming about another time, another place where everything would someday be better. I now know that God made a way through the daydreams for me to escape and be at peace. It was a way of His divine protection for me as a child. A place where there would always be hope. Through daydreaming, I would dream of the life that Jesus said could be mine through Him. I would dream of the simple things in life that many people overlook. Simple and pure dreams that gave me great comfort. I rested in Him, in that place, in my daydreams.
During times of great distress and trials, I would dream of my Jesus...I would close my eyes and see Him gently holding me in His strong arms and wiping away my tears. Then, and only then would I be comforted and believed that everything was going to be alright.
The daisies that I mention in the name of my blog are from the field of daisies that I would run to as a child. My hiding place, my secret place. I would learn to abide there with my Lord. There were many times when the child in me felt so free from the world that I would stop daydreaming and get up and just run....running through the daisies. Free from the troubles of this life. I would take time to acknowledge the beauty of the vastness of it all...the beauty of the flowers and the beauty of my God who made it all.
Now that I am an adult, my perception on daydreaming and the field of daisies, all have a deeper meaning. I have learned that it is alright to stop and dream, to dream of your heart's desire, but mostly, when trials come in this life, stop and pray to our Lord Jesus and dream about our Saviour, who thinks about you all of the time, He loves you so much that He died for you on a cross, a cruel death for our sins so that we might be saved and be free. He rose again and now sits at the right hand of the Throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) And then, just as I remember when I was a child, getting up from where I was daydreaming, in that quiet place, I would get up and just run into that field of daisies...free. We should be so free...we should be as children with our faith. With no thought of any worries, I ran...KNOWING that Jesus would take care of everything and I could just run and pick the beautiful flowers and enjoy the day.
I pray that whoever reads this will find rest in Our Lord. Abide in Him, our safe place, our hiding place with Our Almighty God, lay down your worries, leave them with Jesus....and just run into the field for Him.
