"I will amaze you everyday". That was what Daddy said to me just now. Fact is, I’ve heard that many times before. The question was whether I was willing to embrace and take hold of that truth.
He has been amazing me especially so in the past few days. And on friday He said, "Watch, today I will amaze you". I think God has been amazing in His daily grace. But it’s become more evident in the recent days because I’ve been aware of a need to become more sensitive to His voice, hence the heightened attunement. Attunement is desirable, attenuation is not. I pray that my spiritual antenna will always be tuned in to Daddy’s frequency.
Hence, I decided to take hold of that truth. It’s quite peculiar though. If someone tells you of a good ‘offer’, w/o any ill intentions, wouldn’t you accept it immediately w/o much thought? That person being someone you know you can trust? I think I’m (or humans in general) a strange creature. I had to give much thought to that ‘offer’.
I’ll not elaborate on the issue of ‘delaying’ the taking up of the offer today, that’ll be in a future entry/post. But it all boils down to receiving. Learning to receive the grace and gifts. Receive.
My dear readers may be wondering about the 3-month lapse in posting. I’ve actually drafted quite a number of entries but never gotten around to completing them. Sometimes I just have some thoughts and decide to pen them down online, but the entries were too sparse. I’ll work on them in the near future. I’ve been spending the past few months getting my bearings, making sense of stuff. Most importantly I’m growing. I love growing. I also love watching things grow.
I love nurturing plants and watching them grow. And it’s such a joy when the flowers bloom. The same can be said for people. The greatest joy is in watching God doing His ‘gardening’ work in people around me. He waters and nurtures them, removing the weeds etc. Day by day I just enjoy watching one particular friend of mine grow. I await that day when the flower blooms. Oh what a beautiful day that will be =)
Will you receive? Will you let the Great Gardener nurture you and remove the weeds in your life? The day you do will be the day amazement begins.
=)
