Paired Up In Nature

by Debra Burgess  
6/08/2010 / Christian Living

Two doves flew in front of my car, fluttering downward to sit in a nearby yard. Earlier in the day I had watched a pair of horses running full speed as they played together. I nearly walked into a pair of dragonflies connected in flight. A few days earlier I had stumbled upon a pair of male deer relaxing together beneath a shade tree.

I had been feeling alone for reasons not easy to fathom and I drew comfort from this nature around me. It brought to mind the promise, "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." There are times when I can feel as though I am walking alone in my trials, but as each pair from nature was put before my eyes, I knew what I was feeling was not the reality of what I was living.

On an empty trail I looked up into a beautiful blue sky. It seemed wrong to enjoy this alone so I verbally spoke out a prayer for a tangible presence of company from my Lord. Immediately a large blue dragonfly flew down in front of me only a few feet ahead. I delighted in its seeming to lead me on the path for a while. It left me about the time I reached tall purple flowers.

Stopping here I could only offer thanks from my heart for the thousand ways I am assured I never go anywhere alone. I too am paired up in the nature of God.

I love to encourage the heart of people to be who they are meant to be in Christ, individually made and uniquely designed.
