Dear God~
are the first words I write on my computer this morning
in a letter to God~
to clear my head and my heart
to make room room for Him
and then
it happens~
I get distracted.
Because
I see the screen of my last visit…
Amazon Prime~
Christmas shopping.
So immediately
I put
God
on hold,
as my brain gets stolen
by one little distraction
because it so much
easier to push
“deliver tomorrow”,
with a sense of accomplishment~
immediate gratification~
instead of
going to
God
first
to see what
He has for me
this morning.
But deep in my heart
I question Him~
Will He speak to my heart?
Is He listening?
Does He care?
Have you ever questioned God?
Well I do
when
I can't feel Him
when
I can't see Him doing what I want Him to do.
So this morning
I purposely distracted myself
But,
because of
God’s Grace,
He will let me believe
what I want to believe &
He will even allow me to go to
Amazon,
again and again,
to continue shopping~
yet I still sit in angst
because
I know that
He does have something to say to me right now,
as
He gently whispers to me
to
Come to Him,
and to
Be Still and Know.
So I come & I ask
Him
what I have been asking
Him
since December 1~
Who is This Baby
And God answers me
And God answers you
Because
God
first answered the
cries of the world
in a way that made no sense for many
by sending
A Baby.
It would have been much easier if
God
sent a Man dressed in a purple robe
with a crown on
His head,
standing 8 feet tall,
casting a glow
who would speak one word that would
transform the world back into
the Perfect Garden
that it once was~
Perfect Paradise
for all to live.
Then
all would have believed.
But instead,
God sent
A Baby~
An innocent
Little Baby
Whose first words were a cry
that changed the world~
A cry to answer all our cries.
God
did have something to speak to my heart,
in the wee early hours this morning
and
He waited~
in the midst of my
being distracted.
And
once I closed out
Amazon
to write
Him
a letter filled with my cries
He answered.
He waited~
because
He wanted to answer my letter to Him
and
He delivered quicker than
Prime.
He gave me all of Him
because
I gave Him all of me.
And
that my friends is the best gift I could ever receive.
So I ask you~
What are you waiting for?
What do you want for Christmas?
Instead of a
Dear Santa letter,
write a
Dear God
letter~
Because
He waits
He reads
and
He answers!
Because
Who is This Baby~
the One who was born to reconnect us back to the God who hears~
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God
so that you may know that you have eternal life.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to His will,
He hears us.
And if we know that
He hears us—
whatever we ask—
we know that we have what we asked of Him.
I John 5:13-15
