Okay, here's Tuesday's story. It was a long day totally dedicated to studying. I'm super excited for this New Testament class because I feel like it has come at the right time in my life. I know about Jesus and His ministry but I feel like this class will help me dive deeper into it, and help me see how to apply His principles more in my life today... Tomorrow.... And each day to come! I already accomplished one of my goals I made with "Chara" (performance group I am assistant teacher in.) I told God I wanted to pay for a strangers order. Well, I spent a good portion of my day at Starbucks and while I was there God nudged me and said, "Here's your chance." He taught me a few things through that which surprised me. 1. It doesn't have to be anything big, (unless God asks for something big) sometimes it's the small things that bless people most. 2. The person does not even have to know about the blessing for it to bless them... Think about that for a minute. 3. Lastly, if you act simply to be seen, the best thing to do to combat it is by giving only when no one will notice.
One more thing worth adding is that I waited and prayed for Gods timing as to when to go and tell the cashier to pay for the next person... The person ended up being a neighbor who has never liked my family. She didn't like all the kids so close to her or anywhere in her neighborhood (6 of us all together.) Just being honest here, I never cared for her bad attitude. God knew that she needed blessed and it made me happy it was her!
With that said, God is not only teaching me about the Kingdom life Jesus exemplified through His life here on Earth, but He's walking it out with me. He wants each of us to experience, live out, and spread the true life of the Kingdom Jesus brought here. There's no excuse to not live this out, even for those who feel like they're not brave enough to start something new. I have news for you... It's NOT new, Jesus already paved the way so that you can walk it out. God is guiding me in my studies so that I know what He desires of me, then He's taking me to lab! I am already thinking of new goals to bless someone again and once I accomplish that one, I'll brainstorm a new one. Jesus never stopped blessing people and I want to follow in His footsteps!
Wednesdays revelations to follow...
