Happy Sunday! Yesterday was a real break through day for my husband and I. I began praying several years ago for God to unmask people to me and reveal their heart's to me and He has. And let me tell you, it is not for the faint of heart. For it can jolt you, devastate you and hurt you but when God gives you the gift, He also knows you can handle it. My husband and I are just starting to see some people's true hearts or intentions shall we say. He is the perfect example of a person who gives without expectations. He offers whatever he can to every person or situation. We used to be able to write a check and hand it to someone but in this season, that is not an option. So we offer of ourselves in the way of a ride, a meal, a talk. Some people graciously accept and some grossly misuse. My husband is now learning the unmasking of one's heart can be hurtful. He has been helping someone for 6 months now, taking him to the library, post office, bank, doctor's appointments. He was giving him cigarettes (when he smoked) and food. I never dared asked about money. That is between C and the man. But I started to feel a certain way. And I always try to check myself first to see if it is me being skeptical. But time after time, it is the person's black heart coming through to me. I did not witness a gracious spirit. I felt a racist spirit, a sense of entitlement spirit for lack of better words. It was confirmed to me when C shared the glorious news to the man that God delivered him from smoking and the first thing out of the man's mouth was , "Oh man now where am I going to get my cigarettes from". I know. Sad. Makes you angry. Me too. The point is that when we give of ourselves, it should always be with an open heart. Expecting nothing in return as God would want it. But be mindful. Take heart. Be wise for you also want to bear good fruit. I tell C he needs to plant the seeds and move on. The Lord will water them and help them grow. They will be accountable for their own decision to believe. The Lord revealed the same to me with this daily blog. I was emailing it to people each and every day and the Lord told me to stop it with certain people. Told me He wanted them to reach out for it. For this is all of God, not me. So I obeyed and I see now that the Lord wants me to change the email list every 40 days. So if I email this to you now, take heart to what God is saying to you....for it will soon be up to you to open this door daily. And know God will be waiting for you on the other side. Have a blessed Sunday!
