Have you ever gotten a group text from God? It’s that moment where everything you’ve been thinking about coincides with every sermon, song, podcast and overheard conversation. Freaky right? I call those Godly Group Texts. Usually I grin sloppily and say “thanks” as I glance up at the sky. Lately I’ve been turning red, anger or hot flash; who knows, and respond with an “I hear you, but what am I supposed to do with it?”.
The past week has been filled with internal reflection themes. I think I am very self aware and if I’m not aware of something, it’s on purpose. So I’m playing peek a boo with the issues I had severely hidden and God cranks at me till my weasel pops. Mark 12:30-31 gives us the two greatest commandments spoken by Jesus Himself. Love God utterly and completely, and love your neighbor as yourself. I love God sincerely, I may not always trust Him, but that’s my issue and has nothing to do with Him……
The second is where my mirror pops up. I’m assuming that there were no issues with self esteem in biblical times or no one thought to ask, “what if you don’t love yourself”?
I can exhort and encourage with the best life coaches, everyone else but me. Every time I feel like I might be trying to grab hold of God’s plans for me I get smacked with a loop. It’ll be either a new health concern, (I’ll tell you about my almost tantrum another day), or it’s a mental loop that’s still clinging to what I want. I’m partially deaf so whispers don’t compute and diabetes has deadened many a nerve ending, so gentle nudges don’t work either. I’m So Very grateful God is long suffering, cause whatever He’s putting down I can’t seem to pick up….right now. But as the author and finisher of my faith,
(Hebrews 12:2), I’m still believing that I’m heading somewhere.
Thank You God
