This image is a bit risque, but an image that popped into my mind. I don't know if this was from God or not, but it was an image that came to my mind.
I'm naked in this shower with a man. There are 2 showerheads and water is streaming down in full force onto each of us. It's not a sexual image, even though we are both naked. On each of our bodies all over are words like, on me, anger, unforgiveness, my heart being crushed. On him, disappointment, dreams, desire, hurt, shock. Many more words on each of our bodies.
The water washing over us is like white, energizing light. I can see anger near my heart as the water cascades down my breast starting to sort of diffuse the anger. He reaches his hand to touch anger while looking in my eyes with kindness and understanding. Anger isn't getting washed away so easily as he takes a scrub brush with fine bristles and gently begins to scrub at it until it's faintly there and the nourishing Holy water washes it away finally. The scrub brush is made with kindness, love, gentleness, and understanding bristles. It takes time.
It's an intimate, raw time between myself and the man - of being real. All our body flaws are displayed and nothing hidden. There is complete acceptance and we help each other get rid of and wash the things that have stained our souls, bodies and lives.
Symbolism in that the water is the living water of Jesus that flows. The showerheads could not be flowing with salvation through Jesus Christ. It's so intimate to be naked before another person, and to care for them so tenderly, so lovingly, to accept them as they are, flaws and all.
