through all things we recieve him
A chapter in the book Spit, Gum and Shoe Laces
Did God ring my doorbell?
by Blue-Stubby
It's funny sometimes where and through whom God speaks
The lady at the check out smiled
and wished me a blessed day. Does Jesus go to the grocery store? My electric bill was overdue, the next notice stated paid in full. Does Jesus work at the power company? I blew the motor in my minivan and it started this morning. Is Jesus a mechanic? A doctor said the cancer covering my liver had disappeared. Is Jesus an oncologist? My best friend warned me not to have sex with my girlfriend. Did Jesus follow me on my dates? I failed to report all my income and had to pay a stiff penalty. Did Jesus look at my paycheck? I argue and swear at the neighbor when his dog barks at night. What will Jesus forgive me for? An old woman gave me testimony about Jesus changing her life. What do I do so he loves me? I went to church with my fianc© and accepted Christ in my life. How will he move in me? I witnessed to my neighbors and my family about God's love. How will they respond? Things in me have been replaced with new ways and thoughts. Can I be who he wants? It has been hard to change all the sinful habits I am used to. Can god work in me? He is my restorer, protector, teacher, forgiver and comforter. Where would I be without Christ in my life? He speaks to me through everything and everyone, constantly. Where will he be next? Praise God's all seeing and all hearing omnipresence. |
i have learned to keep my eyes, ears and heart open for his signs and wonders that he has for me to receive. It has been a journey long and hard but well worth the efforts of fine tuning my spiritual receptors. This piece just came through amidst a stretch of time when God chose some pretty unusual people and places to move me. A good sense of humor can lift the spirit.
