It is almost one in the morning and I have so much school work left to do. I am grateful that God reminded me that I needed to write this before I went to bed.
I have to admit I was rather self absorbed today, but God knows just how to pull me out of myself to touch His people when necessary.
This afternoon a friend called and I was tempted not to answer because I was in a hurry and running behind and had a lot on my mind... the usual stuff. I asked the Lord, "Do I answer?" His swift reply, "Yes."
It turned out better for me than the other person on the line. I love when I pray with people because I get so reconnected with Him that the rest of life just melts away. It was exactly what I needed!
A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and I were playing our "Talk to Jesus" game and she asked Jesus what His favorite color is. His reply was purple. I didn't really think anymore of it than just to marvel at the idea of knowing His favorite color. I was reading a book last night about a little boy's trip to Heaven and He described Jesus and clothed in white with a purple sash. On the way walking to class this afternoon, I put the two together.
I asked Him, not really expecting an answer, "Why is purple Your favorite color?" The response I got, "What is purple? Red + Blue. Red is for My Blood and Blue is for revelation." It hit me. Purple is His favorite because it is the combination of understanding and His blood. I think it brings Him the most joy when we walk in the revelation (deeper level of understanding) of everything that His blood bought and paid for. Purple is also the color of kings and queens. Kings and queens have authority. The authority that He died so that we could have. I love purple too! In fact I happened to have a purple shirt on today and my toenails were painted a lovely shade of purple as well! I might love it more now!
Lord, please help me to walk in Your authority!
