"Her outstretched arms..."


"...rest assured,
you can never lack God's
outstretched arm, so long as
you are in Her service..."

- Mary Baker Eddy

rest

rest assured...

never
a lack
never, ever....

you are loved...you are
so
dearly loved...

as a Mother never
loses sight of Her child's
needs...

so your Father-Mother God
has never lost sight of
you...

Her arms are stretched out
reaching towards
you,

run,
fall,
collapse,
release all self-determinism
and
rest....
rest in Her
arms

Her outstretched arms...

arms,
not folded in
exasperation,

but stretched wide open
reaching for you...

arms filled with
pure joy,
just so grateful you are
there,
looking in Her direction,
looking into Her
Love-filled eyes,
eyes that brim with
happy tears

let yourself go there,
let yourself
accept,
appreciate,
savour
all that She
offers of Her gifts

affection,
patience,
humility,
grace,
gentleness,
purity,
worth,
joy,
tenderness,
mercy,
meekness,
contentment
perspicacity,
trust,
kindness,
peace...

and share them

open the floodgates of
your heart
and
share them
generously...

they will come rushing up
from
the depth of a
fountain
so pure and
rich
that you will
be
lifted,
buoyed,
immersed,
washed,
carried along...

held
firmly,
strongly,
securely
in the
safest
place you can be

in Her outstretched
arms,
immersed
in
the healing waters
of Love...

the river of Her
pleasures...

the pleasure She knows in
loving,
holding
caring for
you...
