Your favourite Spot

Your Favourite Spot

We all have a favourite spot. A place that holds fond memories, of happy times. maybe it is a place that you went to in the past with a dear friend or with family, but no longer go to. Or maybe it is a place that even now you retreat to when you wish to be alone and find some peace and calm. We all have at least one such place.

I would like you to take a moment now to relax and picture yourself in this very place. Picture the place in your mind's eye. It may be the case that this place inspires sounds or even a pleasant scent. Allow yourself to be there now, hear the sounds. Can you feel the air on your face, maybe the sun is shining and you can feel its warm touch? Relax, look around let the feeling of calm fill your being, sense the joy that this place brings you.

Enjoy....................

Feel......................

Be at one with all you sense and feel...............

Now, as you enjoy this favourite spot, imagine Jesus joining you. Allow him to enter the scene and be with you. Watch as he walks over towards you and without any words sits beside you.............

Look into his face and be aware that he is enjoying this place with you. Your favourite place is also bringing peace and joy to him.............

Having shared this, your favourite place, with Jesus now I would like you to invite another to join you. This is your place and you have already shared it with Jesus. You may not ever bring another to the place in reality or thought, but now invite your very best friend into this place now. Watch as this very dear person walks over and joins both you and Jesus. Allow this fellowship to feel good. Together enjoy the peace the harmony and the calm of this moment..........

Again look into the face of Jesus. Notice that he is enjoying being in your favourite place with you and your friend. He seems at one with your favourite place as much with you on your own as he does with your friend being there also...............

Be at peace in this scene .....................

For a moment hold this scene in your mind and let the peace flow into you. Feel the calm of the moment.

Now in this moment of quiet peace and calm, with your friend and Jesus just relax. Now I ask you to invite into this place, into this moment that person that you find so very difficult to have any good thoughts about. it is not easy to disturb the peace and the calm but look to the side and see this difficult person..............

AS this person comes towards you Jesus goes forward and greets the person.........

Look again at the face of Jesus as he stops before this difficult person. Notice that he looks at this person in the very same way he did both you and your friend............

The love, the peace and the gentle calm that he brought to you and then to your friend he is now giving to this new person.......

With Jesus and your friend reach out and take hold of the hand of this person. All four joined together in harmony. Jesus has the same love for each one.........

Watch and be aware as Jesus puts a hand of blessing on each of you in turn.......

Hear him gently say to all of you, "Be Still."

Be still and look again towards the face of Jesus, look into his eyes. Feel the love flowing from him towards you. Feel any anger you felt for this other person drift away as you hand it to Jesus.

Listen as Jesus speaks to you..........

Sit calm and at peace as you watch all three of them depart your favourite place. Allow the calm to flood over you and into you.

Your favourite place has become a place of love, peace and reconciliation. It is a place you can return to whenever you feel the need. it is a place where you will meet with jesus and find what you seek. Give thanks that life is good.
