See the message in the video above. I had a vision of Jesus coming toward me from a distance.
He was wearing a white robe, and His arms were open wide toward me.
Not in judgment…
not in anger…
but in love.
Around me, everything felt like a wilderness.
Empty. Dry. Isolated.
And in the vision, I didn’t feel strong.
I felt like a wounded lamb lying on the ground.
Weak. Hurt. Tired from the journey.
But what stood out most was that Jesus was still coming toward me.
Even wounded…
even in the wilderness…
He was moving closer.
It reminded me of these KJV scriptures:
“He shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom…”
— Isaiah 40:11 KJV
And:
“The LORD is my shepherd…”
— Psalm 23:1 KJV
Sometimes the wilderness can make you feel forgotten.
Like you’re too broken, too exhausted, or too far away.
But the vision felt like a reminder that the Shepherd still sees the wounded sheep.
And He still comes near.
Not everyone understands wilderness seasons.
But throughout scripture, God often met people there.
In lonely places.
In waiting seasons.
In brokenness.
And what I felt most deeply was this:
Jesus was not walking away from me.
His arms were open.
And He was coming closer.
