A LESSON FROM KING
The most intriguing thing happened recently between my son and his dog King. Beside the fact that they have a bond since he was brought home from the mainland and most of his early years were spent with him this experience has not left my mind.
My son drove up the hill to our house after being away for a while. As we were approaching our home, I saw the dog left his position stood up like he smell my son, came out of his dog house and started approaching the car. It appears that he sensed that I was not the one driving because most times I come home he would still stay lying down.
What I saw next took me by surprise. When the car reached near his house he started a sound like I would do when something excites me, He stood up on his hind legs and as if he was calling his name with every bark, I almost understood what he was saying, like.. I miss you, where have you been, why did you leave me for so long etc.... then as my son came out the car he jumped on him lean his head on him and started sniffing like I know you, I remember you. As my son held out his hand he gave him his paw and then.... my son said.... SIT!
The dog sat and looked at him with those eyes of love. (I guess that's where puppy love came from) But after all these months he still obeyed his orders.
That gesture immediately gave me a spiritual awakening.
I had many questions, and many things about my God came to mind. I asked, how can the dog remember my son from a distance? How come he still remembers the orders , teaching and training although my son has been gone for a such a long time?
What a revelation that came tumbling through my spirit.
GOD REMEMBERS MY FRAGRANCE (AND SMELL)
HE KNOWS and REMEMBERS MY NAME
HE KNOWS AND REMEMBERS MY VOICE
HE REMEMBERS MY REQUESTS AND IS WAITING TO FULFILL THEM
Most of All - NO MATTER HOW LONG AND HOW FAR I HAVE WANDERED.... HE LOVES ME! HALLELUJAH!
TODAY'S FOCUS: GOD'S LOVE
Is this message for you today? Know that...GOD REMEMBERS YOU AND LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY!
Today you may be experiencing or rather feeling unloved; feel like no one is paying attention to you or may have abandoned you; you may also feel that you have been away from God for too long or you may have done too much to receive His love
THERE IS HOPE!
Reflect back on the story I shared, and read the story of the Prodigal Son and understand that God is always looking out for you! (Luke 15: 11-32)
Your fragrance is still in His nostrils, He still remembers and knows the voice of your cry, He is just waiting on you to return.
SURRENDER AND TRUST HIM TODAY - Release your loveless feelings to Him!
You can be restored back to your place. Think about...
- Where you were before you left Him?
- What did you experienced with Him?
- Do you miss the comfort of His safety and protection?
- What it would be like to be back in His care?
Today most people are expecting acts and gestures of love but I ask that you....
- Write a love paragraph or poem to God expressing your love to Him
- Write or call someone who probably don't have anyone to say I love you to them
- What act of love can you do for someone in need today?
Remember when we extend love and acts of kindness to others we are only building and filling up our own reservoirs.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP THE FAITH!
