A Belly Full of Starlight
My earliest memory is of Jesus catching a star. He winks at me in the blinding white light, and I clap as He swallows it. After a short moment, I can see a faint glow gently pulsing from His belly that is now lit from within. Curious, I draw closer, and I become enveloped as Jesus sits down and takes me into His lap. Curling up, I can feel the warmth in His belly, and I canβt help but gaze at the almost hidden star in childlike wonder.
There is a deep chuckle, and I peer up to see Jesusβs smiling face, amused by my curiosity. Shyly, I bury my rosy face into His robes, suddenly aware of how small I am. He chuckles again, beginning to rub His belly full of starlight. My gaze turns upwards to the starry heavens, captivated by the bright constellations swirling above. I wonder to myself if Jesus could swallow every single star in the sky. There are so many of them! Wellβ¦He is God after all, and I have just seen Him eat one!
His gaze follows mine and He smiles. βI could definitely eat every single one. But,β Playfully, Jesus shrugs and pats His belly. βIβM stuffed!β I giggle and hug Him in a tiny embrace. Jesus chuckles again, leaning back on the soft grass while still cradling me close. Just like this, in blissful peace, we watch the night sky together until I am lulled to sleep by the starry warmth emanating from deep within Him.
