I did something crazy last night. It is one of those impromptu, my heart tells me to do so - kinda thing. It could possibly change some parts of my life or it could end up with nothing. But whatever it is, when I hit the ‘Send’ button, I do wonder if I am over exaggerating or am I for real? I kept wondering to myself, “Doh…woman, are you for real? Are you putting yourself in a basket and boasting or what?” You know…it is one of those things where we need to convince people who have never met us about the things we have done.
So, I wrote an email to someone about me. I sent it even though I was hesitating. I do not know how she will perceive it. What the heck…..If we want to apply for a job, we need to boost up our CV. Here, I am not applying for a job nor I need a CV. It is merely what I had done before and all I am asking is some guidance from her. Still…doubts do set in after I sent it.
But as usual God is great. Today, someone appeared. And I knew right there and then, God is certainly not laughing in my face. If that someone choose to trust me, come to me and showed me his emotions, I know that God too trust me that I am special in some way. Not everyone has the same kind of welcoming warmth like me. I feel blessed that I am friend with a person like him. My hugs for him, the closeness I felt when I held his hand during the Lord’s Prayers, my whispers to him that his mom too is in the Lord’s Heavenly Kingdom can only come from the Holy Spirit.
Without Him, I am just a cold, distant stranger like most people. Probably, I wouldn’t even want to sit near him. With Him in me, I am the hurting person’s comforter. Thank You, Lord. I walked a bit taller today because I know You are listening and entrusting me with things to do, however menial it is.
The Summons lyrics
Lord your summons echoes true when you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In Your company I’ll go where Your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me.
The little signs are sometimes hard to be noticed. But if we have some faith that whatever we asked will be answered, then, we can see them coming.
