If I divide them into moments, they are so remarkable it dispels concern and worry. Trying to eat the entire slice of life all at once activates panic, frustration, fear and all those overwhelming, daily attributes. But when I look at what He allowed me to do today in the midst of an environment I have been realistically convinced could never be used for Kingdom Purpose, I am overjoyed. The living of purpose produces irresistible and unmistakable JOY, joy that possesses the greatest magnetism for Christ. They saw me today, and because I saw their pain, loneliness and recognized their searching hearts, they asked and I answered willingly. So, much pain created by the brutality of this world and the only salve is Jesus.
My wounds have been washed clean, my pain healed, trespasses removed and forgiven. The window this has allowed is that all those who see the light, desperately seeking similar freedom, are beginning to ask openly for directions. What a gift I have been given that I might through my simple testimony, love for Christ and willingness to share the Gospel move them one step closer to relationship with God. This was a day of fulfillment, a day that explains that meaning we have all sought throughout the history of man. My purpose is to see their pain and tell them where to find rest then remind them real love exists. They crave relationship with Him and they need encouragement, understanding and love from me. Today, it all took shape, and God once again reminded me that He has never left me, even for a step.
Some think me foolish and turn away, some see foolish, unbridled joy and wish to know its origin. My happiness is not assured for it requires constant maintenance, but my Joy is overflowing, catching fire and spilling on everyone with whom I come into contact. I am sorry that I have hurt anyone when intending to tell them truth. Forgive me Lord for being slow to surrender, thank You for my freedom. In Jesus Holy and Precious Name.
