Jesus Will Hold Onto His Own

I had a rather strange dream last night.  Most of the time I can't remember all of my dreams that I dream, but this one seemed different.  Dreams don't always make sense as we all know, but this one seemed more like a message or something.

In this dream I was driving my vehicle from Northern Maine and I was headed to Massachusetts.  I had my camera with me and I remember wanting to take a picture of Mount Katahdin.  I was driving along and I was headed to a Homeless Shelter that was near an airport in Massachusetts.  I arrived there and got out of my vehicle.  When I got out I saw Mount Katahdin and I took a picture of it (I told you sometimes dreams don't make sense.  Mount Katahdin is in Maine.)

Anyway, I checked into this Homeless shelter.  I stayed there a long time and I ministered the Gospel of Jesus Christ to these people.  I played my guitar, I served meals, and I developed close friendships with the staff.  The weird part of this dream is that I can remember just about everything about it and that doesn't usually happen.  At the very end of the dream I told the staff that I was leaving and that I had to go back home.  Everyone seemed sad and I felt sad also, but I knew the Lord was calling me home.

There was this young woman who was a staff member.  I held her hand because she had tears in her eyes and I told her I was sorry that I had to go.  She gave me a hug and she said that she would never let me go.

Usually when a person has a dream, the people in the dream are people that one knows in real life, but I didn't know anyone in my dream in real life and yet they felt familiar.

I know dreams are dreams and most of the time they don't mean very much.  I have been thinking about this one all day as I was working.  Today as I worked I felt the Lord speak to my heart in a the most tender way and He said, "I will never let you go."  When the words entered my mind tears started to form in my eyes and my heart felted warmed by His embrace.

This is what I taking away from this.  If we are trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior there is no where we can go that he won't be right there with us.  He will hold onto us no matter what hardships we face and He will never let us go.


Lord,
Thank You for Your love and Your amazing Grace.
We praise You Name.
Help us to be Your servants.
May Your will be done in and through our lives.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
