Hanging Up My Cape

Some of you may recall that a couple of months ago, I prayed that God would speak to me through my dreams. A couple of days ago I had a vivid dream that was incredibly freeing. Initially I thought I had had a bad dream until I reflected on its meaning. I was on vacation with my family, and everyone had gone to separate rooms to take naps. I looked out the window and saw an enormous tornado coming our way. In the split second when I saw it, I knew instantly that I couldn’t save everyone. I screamed out that the tornado was coming, and I woke up. As soon as I woke up, I told God that I couldn’t save everyone, and in a still, quiet voice He said that I wasn’t supposed to. What an eye-opening dream! I thought I had hung up my superwoman persona, and maybe I had but still needed the reminder. Thank you, Lord, for reminding me of my role. Thank You for reminding me what You called me to do. You called me to write, to speak Your word, and to love people. I recognize that You didn’t call me to save people. I recognize that Jesus paid the price once and for all. I can love, I can encourage, and I can uplift, but only the Savior can save. Is that not a freeing message, or what?
