I've been on a shoe-string budget (as in, I can't afford to buy anything) and I don't mind...because it makes those little blessings that much sweeter. Such as right now, when my friend Cherith said, "I have something for you" and then ran to her room and came back with a whole container of Double-Stuf Oreos...and handed them to me! The whole container, not just two cookies! Do you know what a wealth that is to a girl who can't afford to buy anything? I was pretty floored and I asked her, "Are they all mine?" a couple of times. I just couldn't believe it...
It reminds me of God's grace. He has so much for us, His Holy Spirit meant to fill our lives and Him showing Himself through miraculous signs and words for us and yet...so many of us don't believe it. We can't believe He would bless us, we've made such a mess of things! And yet...it is all for us...oh, it floors me! Does it floor you? Ask God for an outpouring of all that He has for us, accept His gift!
I was watching the IHOP webstream and just dancing and asking God to outpour His Spirit...I was praying for His Spirit to fill Haiti...oh, it was so good. His Presence.
Seek Him, my friend. He is not far from any of us.
