Wow, it’s 2013! God has indeed blessed us with another year! Another year to pursue Him more earnestly, to better the Kingdom, to serve. An increase in time, an increase in knowledge & an increase in effectiveness. I’ve often known that the number three represents Confirmation. I’ve covered it a few times in past messages. I received a confirmation about how fortuitous this year shall be! This new year, 2013 (has that three in it) … is to be a year of great blessing, God pouring out his abundance upon the diligent, upon the obedient. Pouring out His spirit upon the Earth.
God allowed me to become part of something much bigger than myself over the holidays. It was such a blessing beyond what I can share here, it will have to be sufficient to say that the events of which will most likely lead to a book. It involved helping someone else get what their heart wanted, something wholesome, something simple, something good. That something was a taste of what I had the pleasure of living for so many years. A chance to dream, a place to wish, to pray & play. That happy storybook childhood. The thing that represented all of this was a doll house. A not-yet-built doll house that was gifted to me by the first & most influential man in my life, right before he died an untimely death…my Daddy!
As I gleefully sewed in that blessing, Father began revealing things to me. Signs, wonders, and I am being literal…things that have been witnessed & recorded as best as possible, by myself & those who became involved… ( a child, her Nanna, a friend, a pastor & some folks of the community where they live). On this end, (a few close friends, a brother & the ladies at the post office) everyone saw the importance of accomplishing this, everyone saw Gods hand in it, everyone was blessed by it, from how it came to pass & how it’s gone full circle.
The nugget that we can walk away with is that sometimes God sets things in motion (even amongst the ashes of our lives) To us, we see no stir or no possible benefit. For me, here it was years later after tragedy long ago visited my young life & now, I discovered how God placed something in my life so long ago for “a set appointed time, a time such as this”, commented my Sister/friend! Time after time God leads the faithful to cross another person’s path and great things happen!
Now, onto the closing point, the crescendo to this whole unveiling, He showed through confirmations & remembrance that my parents set things in motion, by being obedient to the Lord. It was common knowledge within the fold of the family that our parents were chaste & pure when they married. They wed with intention; to serve the Lord & raise a family up unto Him. They set things in motion that lined up with God, He doesn’t forget! His promises still apply, they never go void. That which the locust has stolen shall be restored. God remembers the fatherless, the widow, the obedient, the faithful, He pours out his ample blessings to quench His children. Prayers and cares have been entrusted to Him, I rest assured in that I now Know that I know that He is for Me! He’s got it all covered!
Live unto the Lord! Do not give up, do not give in…Just GIVE! Give your heart to Jesus, He will increase your joy, give your cares to Him, He will ease them, Give your trust, He will reinforce it and Give your Love, its already been given to you!
