The Holy Spirit doesn’t do things the way we imagine sometimes, and He is unique to the way each of is hear and receive. Often His promptings look like this for me: Talking to my daughter about our situational delays with our house and how life has been put on hold for so many. 2020 has made hash of dreams, crashed into us with many disappointments and made us weary with the instability that it’s brought.
What spilled out next has resonated with us for days now, it wasn’t me, trust me, I’m not that clever, wise or profound, so it was the Holy Spirit. “Most of us are living life in the future, instead being present in the now. We are hoping, dreaming, putting life on hold instead of living in the moment, living in THIS moment God has given us.”
Wow, I’m guilty...so guilty of this as we have waited for our home to be fixed, living in what we see as a temporary situation that’s dragged on for over a year now. We have been living without curtains, without kitchen utensils, without many things packed away in storage, because well... real living is “out there somewhere”. Not here. OUCH?!
We have all been through similar things this year that has tried us, and hopefully trued us. Could His purpose for us have been to bring us to more truth, deeper truth, than we could have recognized otherwise? Anyone else feel this? Diane Grant 10/10/20
