Hello my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I am doing what I do best; sitting in a coffee shop doing my Bible study and thinking about you. I just had to say hello to you all. Also I wanted to share a couple of thoughts, or actually a couple of revelations that I believe I received from the LORD.
Dear LORD thank You so much for this time to pray to You Father and to thank You for Who you are and Whose we are. Thank You mostly for Your Son, our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank You that You provide for us as Jehovah Jireh, the LORD our Provider. You lead and guide us as Jehovah Roi, the LORD our Shepherd and You heal us completely; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and physically as Jehovah Rapha, the LORD our Healer.
Thank You that we are never alone because You are always with us LORD and You protect us with Your angels. Thank You that You are calling anyone that You feel will benefit from reading this site with the purpose only to draw all people to You and bring You glory LORD.
Father we cry out for victims everywhere LORD. They need You. They also need all of us who are able to help them. Call us LORD. Send us to help these people. Provide for us so we can help provide for them. Bless us so we can be a blessing please LORD. Let them feel Your presence LORD. We thank You in advance. In Jesus Precious Name. Amen. Glory to God!
Today as I was walking the chihuahuas I had a experience that I felt was so cool because I felt God used it to teach me something new. Every time I take my dogs for a walk, I carry a small bag to pick up their “mess” when they go. (I know that’s grose but so is leaving it all over other people’s yards.)
Any way; I was passing this one house and I heard a lot of noise as if someone was banging on their window and then urgently running out onto their porch. Then I heard them loudly saying something that I did not understand because I did not speak their language.
I asked the lady if she was speaking to me. She started angrily pointing to her yard. I pointed to my little bag and she said “oh”. I went on my way and she calmed down. I was unaffected by the ordeal because I didn’t speak her language and I didn’t really know exactly what she was saying. Apparently she thought I had just let my dogs mess on her yard.
Then I felt like the Holy Spirit was sharing the following awesome epiphany with me. When people are trying to hurt my feelings, slander me, belittle me, yell at me or treat me poorly; I can choose to be unaffected because they are not “speaking my language”.
You see, as a follower of Jesus Christ, I am called to walk in love even when others don’t. I am called to speak words of love and life even when others hate me. My language should be God’s love language. I am not supposed to take offense which could then lead to bitterness and possibly hatred. I am called to “speak a different language.”
The second “parable” happened when I was watering my yard and trying to soak it so that I can dig up the dirt and crab grass and prepare it for new grass seeds. (I don’t really like doing yard work and this is ridiculously hard….there I vented.) Now back to the story…
Anyway, I soaked all of the grass areas and then began digging up the areas with a hoe. Even though all of the yard had been watered; when I struck the ground in some areas, dirt and dust flew up into the air. When I struck other areas; water and mud flew up. (This was not fun.)
What I felt that the Holy Spirit was teaching me at that time was that His WORD the Bible is available to us. Jesus died for all of us. God is not a respecter of persons. Then why do some hear His WORD and come up “dry” (like the dry dirt). They don”t grow in the LORD. They don’t flourish, they stagnate or loose interest.
Then there are others who hear the same WORD that is offered to them. They soak it up. They can’t get enough of it. They read it, they hunger after it. They hunger after the LORD Jesus Christ Whom is the WORD made flesh. They receive so much living water, (like my areas of dirt that shot up the water), that they can’t even contain it all. (Exceedingly, abundantly.) The water (the very life and love of Jesus), just shoots out of them. Out of the overflow they can affect others for Christ and become world changers for the LORD.
MATTHEW 13 THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER
This is an awesome parable from our LORD. Sorry it is too long for me to write it all here but to me it is like this experience with the dirt in my yard.
Wow, the time has flown by. The coffee shop is closing. I have to go now. Until we speak again please remember I am always praying for you all and I love you. Most importantly Jesus loves you. God bless you and all of your generations.
