I am sitting at my computer not sure what to write.
I feel something in my spirit....something stirring...almost bringing tears into my eyes...
I "feel" something in a distant land...
A land where there is no modern technology like we have in America
A land where the poor in America are "rich".
A land where children run barefeet.
A land where it isn't rare to find a five year old walk up to you and ask for a coin.
A land where life is hard.
Then....I look at my life.
When I think it's hard.......I AM BLESSED!
What is wrong with my life....??
I don't need to complain about anything, but only be thankful for the abundance of my life.
I don't have much compared to many I know....
At times I've had to wait for the Lord to bring food....
And He never fails to drop some of the abundance off at my door step.
I pick it up and say....THANK YOU!
Then I have lived abundantly....where there was no need....
I found that during those times...I was thankful but yet I was still complaining..
I didn't consider the little blessings that the Lord was bringing or even the bigger blessings...
I was quick to look for what I didn't have.
Boy....what selfishness I lived...how disgusting...
I'm so thankful for what I have gone through to see that life doesn't really matter unless the Grace of God is alive!
The Grace of God that is by what I live and breathe. The Grace of God is so precious and so real.
Then I feel the desire to walk a land that I have never known....to live in a land that delights in the little things...
To live in a place in my heart where I delight in the little....to have compassion on the poor....the downcast.
Deep in my heart there is a cry....a stirring...
I can't comprehend this feeling but there's something there....
I am still waiting to hear the next word to go...walk where God is leading.
I may have to leave my friends....I may have to leave what I have known....I may have to spread my wings
I might just have to........go!
