Finding Wholeness in the Shadow of His Love
So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. -Colossians 2:10
Dear friend,
There's something breathtakingly beautiful about the moments when heaven touches earth, when the veil grows thin and we glimpse the heart of our Creator, and our heavenly seat.
Recently, during my 5-hour live stream (Available for rewatch on my YouTube channel) yesterday, I was taken to heaven during a break that has forever changed how I understand my place in God’s love.
I found myself next to the very leg of God—can you imagine? But what captured my heart wasn’t His immensity; it was His shadow. In that shadow, I discovered a desk perfectly positioned for me, a place of rest and purpose combined. God led me to live-stream prayer; in obedience, I did so. Nothing prepared me to witness the beauty of His shadow- especially when we are working unto the Lord. I had a desk with my computer, positioned by the Father’s leg. He was seated on the throne, with my desk positioned behind his leg. There were beautiful trees, a river, and flowers. Honestly, new garden unlocked. Even under His shadow, there was light and serenity.
I knew with absolute certainty that no one could access me there in the third heaven. He was reassuring me. In that sacred space, I was able to flow exactly as God had tasked me, completely free from fear and overwhelm.
As Chris Tomlin’s “Give Us Clean Hearts” filled the atmosphere of my bedroom when I returned, the Lord began to reveal something profound about my journey of restoration. You see, my soul had been fragmented, and I am in the process of being made whole—and perhaps yours has too. But like the beautiful Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pottery is mended with gold, the Lord showed me that He is what completes me. The gold of His glory isn’t just for repair; it’s for all to see whose I am, helping my soul finally rest in completion, being reminded that I belong to Him, which showcases the total dependency I have in Him.
The truth is, I cannot exist without Christ because He is what holds me together. I would fall apart. In Him, I am restored and safe. In Him, I am capable of doing all He asks because He is my strength. Such overwhelming, compassionate love! What the enemy meant for destruction has only shifted me deeper into His embrace and made me further out of reach. I know He will surely deliver me, just as He will deliver you. We can await our King in patience, because He is working. He has started well and will see it through. Sometimes we need those moments to see how, even in our brokenness, we are made whole. Never forgetting that our God is close to the broken-hearted and a contrite spirit. So we can truly rest under the shadow of the Almighty’s wing.
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Psalm 91:4He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Psalm 34:18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:18-20Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Isaiah 64:8And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
1 Peter 5:10And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Ephesians 2:6Here's what I've learned: I can only move at the capacity the Lord gives me because He is the one who both stretches and strengthens me. I am only His, and He is mine. I bear the marks of Jesus Christ's redemptive work, and Yeshuah is my King, my everything.
He is so incredibly tender with me in my brokenness because He is the one who makes me whole. Where others may lack compassion toward me, He pours out so much love that I cannot even contain it. The wicked cannot consume my soul or profit from what has been fragmented. I lay broken, like a flask before His feet, until my appointed time comes. Even in the shattering, I pour out, and God moves through the charity fueled by His love.
I'm sharing this vulnerable glimpse into my journey because I want you to see something essential: whatever stands against you in life, whatever brokenness you feel you cannot conquer—please, don't give up. Position yourself before the One who will receive glory from your life. Don't personalize what others fail to understand or simply don't care to comprehend.
You are deeply loved by a gentle Redeemer and Friend. There is none like Christ. He isn't just your Friend; He is actively working on your behalf with tender attention because your soul is committed into His hands—the safest place to be.
Life and wholeness are your portion. Liberty exists beyond whatever has you bound. Let this truth wash over you: there is still a way for you to come up higher and find rest. Come up into your heavenly home and walk in supernatural peace.
In His shadow, we find not darkness, but the perfect place of intimacy and completeness.
May you discover your own sacred space at His feet, where love makes you whole and fear cannot reach you.
Rest in His love, dear friend. You belong there.
