The Lion and The Lamb

The Lion and The Lamb Part 7 In that moment I could not comprehend how I could be forgiven from not listening to the Lamb or the dove but looking into the Lamb's eyes there was peace that passed all my understanding. I examined myself to see that I was still covered in the mud that came from the pit that I was just removed. This mud was now starting to dry and crack. It was disgusting to be covered head to toe and I knew that I was needing to cleanse myself. I got myself off my knees to look around for a clean source of water to get this layer of mud off of me. There seemed to be two or three different little puddles around this swampy area that I found myself in. As far as I could see was marshland, I could see in the distance what seemed to be a river but I realized it would be too far for me to clean off the mud on my skin, I wanted to get it off now. The dark green grass was mushy under my feet, every step I took cause a sound as if stepping on slimy banana and it felt as if...

The Lion and The Lamb Part 6 One foot after another I stepped in to the forest again, there was a peace that overcame me as like listening to the sounds of the waves of an ocean.

There was a certain kind of comfort seeing this pure white dove doing what it was doing. As I went along the path the canopy of the trees began to thin out, letting in more and more lig...

The Lion and The Lamb Part 5     The fire in the pit, surrounded by round medium sized rocks, was memorizing and hypnotic. There was a warm aura around it that caused me to be at peace, this peace was beyond what I can explain. While I was intrigued by this undying flame that would not consume the fuel of sticks and branches, I noticed that there was a small cooked fish. I could not identify where it had come from or what kind that it was but it had an alluring image about it. Next to that mouth-watering fish, was a loaf of flat, golden crusted bread. This golden bread also seemed to draw me to it, my mind wondered about it, why it was there also. While my mind wondered about these two things, investigating the fish and bread, a breeze carried the scent of these items to my nose causing my empty stomach to desire these delicious items of food. “Take and eat…” the Lamb offered the food to me, “I brought them for you.”     I reached carefully for the brea...
