Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip "Get up and go toward the south to the road that leads to Gaza." (This is a wilderness road.) So he got up and went. (Acts 8:26-27)
"Who are you Lord?" The reply came, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do....Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. (Acts 9:6-8)
My beloved speaks and says to me "Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
The Lord is speaking. It's time to get up and go. For a month and half at least, I have agonized, mourned, and pitied myself. My relationship with Christ had grown stagnant because I had pushed Him away. But He is calling me to rise up, to take action. He's calling me to the wilderness of an unknown future and I must take initiative. When I falter, I have brothers and sisters who will lead me by the hand. The winter is past. The flowers are blooming. And I am called to move, to get up and go, to follow Him. There's a path through this wilderness. And I have companions to guide me. Now, if I only knew where I'm supposed to go.
