10 healed .... Or only 1

Understanding no English tears streamed down her face... the caroling had gone from singing Christmas songs to worshiping and the presence of God was beautiful... I looked at her and she was wiping tears from her eyes...

Sitting at a coffee shop... sitting in an area of a near by city and feeling the pulse of Father's heart for the people that passed by the window... one man passed the glassed window and he caught my attention... honor him... honor him was that which Father's heart desired....

Walk here and walk there... sit... pause... look...

They are people... there are people every where ...

hearts...

hopes...

desires...

Father's desire...

not a number.. not a notch on someone's salvation belt ...

Had I come to a place where thinking I knew what to do I anticipated going forward in strength... in understanding the way to walk.... having paused and allowed time to sit upon me and to slow down and be engaged with the breathing rhythm of God there were whole other places to walk.... totally other places to engage...

As I found His rhythm and His grace.. I stopped thinking what I had to offer and saw ... saw souls.. saw pain.. passion.. laughter... anger... despair... desperation...

In lieu of power manifestations... in lieu of God showing up in wonder and awesome deeds how am I to walk? In lieu of the miraculous what steps are to be taken... In these thoughts that which is exposed is me... and even in the writing of this I touch His garment... "In wonder and awesome deeds" is a leg being healed a greater work than handing a cold cup of water to one in His name.... I still level.. I still think of greater and lesser works.. when truly it is what is He doing at this moment... and doing that....

Glass of water or stepping into a place where He is healing what is the end result of either?

A heart... a heart...

lepers healed .. only one came back to say thank you.. 10 healed.. one truly .... 10 Physically healed... one made whole......

May the days and moments of my life be lived in such a way that makes others whole.... cup of cold water... or hot coffee... song sung... physically healing... miraculous provision... It becomes only about Him.. all Him.. only Him... His hands.. His feet.. His voice.. His joy.. His shadow.. Him.. He..

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
