Reading Time: < 1 minuteA Meeting
I kneel upon a sandy shore
where I have often been before,
though usually there are folks galore —
But now, there’s only me
and this kindly Man of Galilee.
Over lapping waves I hear Him speak,
“Dear child, it is My might you seek
to overcome where you are weak.”
I look, and then His face I see,
this benevolent Man of Galilee.
“Oh, yes. Oh, yes!” I stretch my hand,
hoping He will understand
how very much I want to stand —
How much I yearn to be
like Him, this Man of Galilee.
He reaches then His own scarred limb
to bring my heart up close to Him,
until I feel a strength within —
I rise to walk along the sea
beside this Man of Galilee.
