Gems In A Garden…

I see now that, the field is covered, in fact, saturated with gems: “The gems of the knowledge of goodness.”

Well, My Goodness! There are all kinds of gems! There are some that float, and they float in the very air that I am inhaling.

There are others that hang from the trees across, and along the pathway.

Some hide under the decayed roots of trees that have ceased to produce.

Some are at the bottom of the ponds collected from the streams.

Some are within the waters of the streams that satiate the thirst of the earth.

They are even thrown at random in my pathway where I stumble upon them.

Oh! those gems, those beautiful gems! They are everywhere in that field!

I know now, as I stop and look around, that there is no possible way that I can collect them all.

And the more I collect, the more I see the ones I have not yet collected.

And by seeing the ones I have not yet collected, I have, actually, collected a big gem: “The gem of the Knowledge of my Ignorance”.

I finished writing. I knelt down by my bed side and I praised God. I thanked God for his infinite blessings.

And in deep communion with my Master, I went again into a reverie. I remembered, in a magical recollection, all the prayers that I had uttered.

I remembered all the cries for help; all the inquiries, the whys that I had made unto the Master.

I came to sense myself in a magical spot. In that magical spot gems were floating. I was inhaling that air flowing in that spot.

And with each breath of air that inhaled, I inhaled the gems. The gems became part of my very being.

And when the gems became part of my being, I was able to see, as if by magic, how all those prayers that I had uttered had been answered.

All the cries for help had been taken care off. And at that moment, that very moment, even my inquiries and my whys were being reconciled.

It was at that moment that God stepped in the direct actuality of my living experience. But, it took many months for me to really understand what had actually happened at that moment.

For it was not until a year later that God chose to show me in His Word the magnificence and splendor of the Giver of the gems.
