...have any of us experienced the presence of God in dreams?
I have a recurring dream that began when I was a child -- I have this dream about once a year. I am walking down a beach, alone, and off in the distance, I see Jesus walking ahead of me, with His back to me. His pace remains calm, measured, confident in faith, and purposeful. I, on the other hand (as I often do in real life), am running like a maniac, tripping the sand, falling down, scrambling, just trying to catch up with Him. I can hear my voice shouting His name over and over again, begging Him to stop, or at least slow down. The faster I run, the slower He walks - until He turns around and within a blink, he is directly in front of me. He smiles, takes my hand, and we silently walk together to an unknown destination.
I love this dream. It never changes, and it has a lasting effect on me for weeks and weeks afterward. Is it really the presence of Jesus? I like to think so. Friends of mine will point out that it could be the result of a somewhat older tuna salad sandwich from the night before.
How about any of you? Do you sense God's presence in your dreams?
That's an amazing dream to have! What a gift!
