Listening in
Good morning… or is it afternoon?
It’s been one of those days today.. I feel time has leaned away from me and embraced another. I am chasing it and it is not wanting to be caught. Ever felt like that too?? Good. Not just me then:)
Last night I had an extraordinary experience. I was minding my own business making a cuppa when I got a word in my mind for a friend in the States. Well, a few words to be precise. Not telling him to do anything but just confirming that God loved him and was pleased with his faith and progress. But there were specifics too.
I grabbed my phone and emailed it fast before the sense and the words got away. I knew they weren’t my words.
I got an email back within a few minutes which really encouraged me. In fact it made me laugh and cry at once. The word had been timely and accurate (unlike some of my words… which appear, at least on the surface of things, to be neither!)
I felt like I had truly listened in to a conversation with God for this guy. It was lovely.
How I long for more of that!
How I long to be holy enough to be trusted with things like this more often!
In the process of the emails that followed, Bob sent me his latest piece on “Life today.” It is an electrifying read. if you feel like being challenged today, go to:
