So today I passed a lady in a wheelchair in Walmart... not once but twice! I know, the chicken in me came out... I should've not thought and just did it. I passed her a second time and realized that she was in the wheelchair because she was missing a leg. When I saw that, I was relieved I didn't go up to her, because it's not like God was going to give her a new leg in the middle of Walmart and she was gonna get up and do a dance in the aisle or something, right? Well, I suppose anything is possible for them that believe. However, I suddenly found myself lacking in the belief department!
Now don't get me wrong, I would love to see that happen. I have even asked God to let me see it happen when I was in one of those really jacked up and hungry for the greater things times. Today was not one of those days... I was just there to pick up snacks for the kids in children's church that night. Ok, I just hit the realization that I was there picking up stuff for church and I walked by a lady who may have needed to know God loved her. UGH!!!! MAN!!! Rough!!!! We're supposed to be light and salt! Man, I missed it!
Good news is I realize I missed it and admitting you have a problem is half the battle! Also, God's mercy is new every morning and He knows that I am learning. I am definitely not going to get it perfect every time or even most of the time. He loves me and uses me anyway!
Our pastor was talking tonight about how God will give us above and beyond what we can ask or even think of and that we are currently living in what we had asked for in the past. I realized I hadn't been very kingdom minded in my asking lately. So here it goes, Father I ask you in Jesus' name to help me to walk out all of the things that you have planned for me. I ask you to give me a heart for your people and strengthen my faith to believe for everything that your word promises. Father I want to see creative miracles in people, I want to see the dead brought back to life; I want to see the captives set free. I want to see your glory in this place. I want to see the Kingdom of Heaven invade this earth. Give me a passionate heart oh God to seek your face continually and to be obedient to your every whim. I love you Father. I thank you for these things in Jesus' Name, Amen!
Just so it is recorded though, I did get to pray for someone out loud in person today. We prayed for a lady to be healed of chest pain at church tonight and I got to pray with a client over facebook. God is so good, and I am so grateful that He is training me to be an awesome woman of God!
