Breakthrough. Light. Plant. Fellowship. Servant.
Have you ever encountered a day that seemed like a week or a
week that felt like a month or a month that seemed like it was a year? 2014 has
carried that feeling since day 1, but this week particularly conveyed itself as
such. So much occurred in such a short time--not only in what my eyes could
see, feel, and touch, but in my heart as well.
Like a sudden springtime rainstorm arrives unexpectedly, yet
timely—bringing growth to the earth below, so it was with my life this past
week. There was breakthrough and
revelation. My prayer was for clarity and a clear insight into two
relationships. I knew that I was at the point where I needed supernatural
understanding to cut one off in order to move forward. I wasn’t aware of which
relationship was to progress and how I would be completely certain. That is,
until this past week. I saw true colors. Ugly colors. Beautiful vibrant colors.
Colors completely out of the ordinary. I was able to see the heart in both of
them. I was able to see what was there all along (or wasn’t there for that
matter).
This breakthrough switched a light on in my heart. I had the “ah ha” moment and a smile of utter
delight overwhelmed me. Here before me was someone with the heart of a servant. Someone who though beautifully
flawed, desired to grow—to move forward—to live out his faith. He, unlike the
other, was planted and rooted deep in
the truth. He followed through and did things before I asked him. Complaining,
unlike myself this week, rarely came out of his lips. I was astounded and my jaw was left
hanging in utter amazement.
This new-found friendship and fellowship has been a joy! I have been left saying: Wow. Huh? I never would’ve guessed it, but I
think I have a crush.
It’s humorous what a week can do, isn’t it? So, week ten has
been one of lighted breakthrough that has planted me and awakened my heart to true
servant fellowship. May you also keep digging deep and discovering the
precious insights and revelations around you!
Until next week…
