The Raging Waves of Self
Short Reflection by Eric Gajewski
If it seems you are always suffering
it is because Love you much and are seeking the Beloved wholly. For our hearts will not rest until they rest
in Him. Nay, it shall seem as if you are
out on the raging seas. It seems as if
Jesus is asleep. Your ship will be
tossed to and fro by these raging waves of self but He is still present. He maybe presently sleeping but a “sleeping
Jesus” has a more watchful eye than the most knowledgeable sailor of the
sea. Our souls seem to be at constant
war with these crashing waves of self but the ship is fortified by grace
because Jesus is on it. And with each
trial won each Cross carried (until the predestined time be fulfilled) you will
find Jesus stand up and calm the seas completely. Rest will be given.
Then another storm will arise and the process
repeat itself all the way till you make harbor in Union with God. The journey is done at first in the dark and
then as harbor approaches the sun begins to peak over the shoreline. You will become more and more of Him and less
and less of you. And over time you will
find that the raging storms no longer even bother you as the conscious thought
or divine kiss of Love and suffering meet in your soul. Then you
too will sleep in peace like Jesus wilst the Storm rages on. Remember if even the lowly the winds and waves must obey Him what makes you think you think you can disobey?
