On Truth
God is amazing, plain and simple. I am severely blessed to have people in my life who I call friends, not to mention a God-fearing husband. One such friend told me, after I ranted about frustrations about God; that one, it was ok to be mad at God, and two, I needed to ask God who I was.
I didn't want to do that. I have spent the past two years of my life trying to become less self-involved. Well, I ended up relenting and just asked. I figure there could not be any harm in it.
The first thing I learned is that from the womb God has had His hand on me. My ear is a miracle unto itself, but I have already talked about that.
That was about two weeks ago, so I continued to wait.
Have you ever heard something clear as day from God? It is pretty amazing how it stops you completely. Nathan and I were driving to friends' apartment when God said to me, "Are you done." And it was a statement. I guess I got a look, because Nathan had to ask me what was wrong. I told him and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since.
Yesterday was our annual movie night and I honestly was not going to go. But since I have some friends who are about to leave, and usually enjoy myself immensely, I decided to go.
We ended up something completely different which led to amazing conversation. I have to say now, that I cherish and love the people who were involved. We did what we called "share time" and it was God-given and wonderful! At one point everyone started to talk about things that were confusing to them. I won't go into the personal things but I have names for my friends now: the peacekeeper, the lovers [:)] and the selfless one. I was confused that I didn't have a gift. All my friends had these amazing talents from God and I was stuck.
God told me to have my other friend drive me to my car. God told me to ask him to tell me something about myself.
My friend said I have the ability to discern truth and speak it to people.
This statement rocked my world. You see, I see through people's masks, it is I who knows your pain. If you ever wonder why I am quite that is why. I am thinking of who you truly are. This is a blessing beyond belief. So many things make sense that once confused me in my life. I now see why the devil and sin were so hell-bent on destroying my discernment about myself. Not anymore. Last night I took a stand.
This has been a jumbled mess, but this is what God is doing in my life and it must be proclaimed. We can't do it alone, and I feel so BLESSED to have people in my life I can call my brothers and sisters.
