Problem to Resolution

I walked passed a lady the other day; her head hung down, she wouldn't look at me. I asked the obvious question, are you okay? "No" she replied, she continued with how she was ready to leave this earth, prayers weren't answered, obviously she made mistakes throughout her life. She went on to share how her life was one bad choice after another, all hope was gone. I felt so bad for this lady I didn't know how to help her, money was not going to solve her problem, she kindly dismissed my suggestion of prayer and preferred to be left alone.

As I walked away, I looked up and asked God, "what could I have said to help someone who has lost all hope?" God answered with the resolution to someone who has crossed the path of the lost; come to me with your heart and ask me, "what is it that you need to do through me?"

A burden in your heart of another will be resolved if you allow God to flow through you to the one that has lost all hope. Be the conduit; that's what the Father needs from His children.

Ask yourself, Do I have a burden for another? Is my heart open and willing for God to flow through? Am I able to be obedient to His direction? As Jesus said in the Garden of Gethsemane, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death; tarry ye here, and watch. And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible the hour might pass from him. And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee, take away this cup from me; nevertheless not what I will, but what thou will. (Mark 14:34-36 KJV)

If we take the same stance as Jesus did when faced with a situation that was bigger than himself, in our busy-ness, when we just don't feel like taking time for someone else, "let the God in you flow through to reach the one that is hurt." It's always bigger than us, impossible for our ability, but with God all things are possible.

Think about it before you walk away, ponder; if it were you......

When you're loved by God

I recently posted a song by a songstress from Bishop Paul Morton's church; "Flow to you". I know this song has been out for awhile, but it expresses my heart to the Lord. As I listened to the words I just imagined that my Father God was saying it to me. That all my worship would cause the Love of God to flow to me. When God is loving on us there is nothing we can't overcome.

God is saying, Praise is corporate but, Worship in personal. Intimacy with God is experienced through worship. When you feel you can't go on, worship. I know you're probably thinking, I can't, worship will require me to expose myself. Well, that's what God wants from us. Exposure, according to Merriam-Webster; 2. with film expose it light, 3. transparency; with the application of light one can see through what it really is. Not that God doesn't know who you are, He created you. It's because He is our creator that He wants us transparent with Him so He can reflect just who we really are to Him.

We are wonderfully and marvelously made. He created us in His image (Gen. 1:26) Why did He make us in His image? Because, He wants us to have dominion over everything else He created. He gave us charge to dominate every circumstance in our life. So I say again, worship Him. He will flow His love to you. Allow Him to reflect who you are to Him, not what your circumstance says, not what others are saying about you, but what He is saying to you with His love.

Request

Imagine if you had a conversation with God. He initiated it by saying,"I treasure my time spent with you. My desire is for you to share your heart with me. I want to share what I see, to pour my love over you and the rest of my children but, most don't sit long enough to hear my plan for the day." "There are so many that will cross your path, I hear their cry. Will you allow me to speak through you?"

Suppose I said no, I have plans today; who would be missed?
