Imagine you are lying on the ground in the middle of a large field on a warm and dark evening. There are no trees or buildings around you, nothing to distract you from a full view of God’s magnificent night sky. You see millions of stars shining brilliantly like diamonds, hanging on a black velvet backdrop, more stars than you can even begin to count. Imagine that your Jesus is lying next to you.
The disciples might have looked at this same night sky while lying next to their best friend, Jesus. For now, just rest, relax, and enjoy the peace of God’s beautiful creation and the presence of Christ next to you. Both you and He enjoy sharing time. Even when both are quiet, you enjoy knowing the other is present.
