What would your life be like if you lived each
event backwards? If you knew what was coming in
your life next how would you react?
John Eldredge writes in his book Waking the Dead,
"God what do you have for my heart today?" He
continues by saying, "you may be stunned by what
he guides you into. I began the day at six in the
morning asking God, "What do you have for my heart
today Lord." I had a few minutes to spare this
morning (very unusual) so I had a cup of coffee at
Starbucks. During that time a brain storm came to
me and I wrote feverously for thirty minutes,
jumped in the car and decided to take a tour of
the new Wal-Mart food store in St. Matthews as I
headed back to work. When I arrived at the store
it was not raining, as I began to leave it was
pouring. I didn't buy anything so I went out the
entrance way. At the same time I realized it was
raining an elderly woman coming into the store
asked me to help with fix her umbrella, it was
stuck open. I'm thinking, not now lady my top's
down in my car and there are fish swimming in it,
but calmly with a smile I help her. Then she wants
me to fold it for her, you've got to be kidding
me. She proceeds to thank me (as I swiftly move
away) and she says, "by the way there is a
convertible in the parking lot with the top down.
As I ran out I yell that's mine thank you: Now,
how many seventy year old woman notice or even
care about a comfortable sports car in the midst
of fifty cars in a lot? I get in, sit in a puddle
of water, close the top and start to drive off. As
I do so, I look over and see a plastic hair
protector (I don't know what the real name of them
are. Elderly people wear them to cover there hair
up from rain) covering my books and what I wrote
at the coffee shop. It was then I realized what
God had just allowed to happen. The same women I
just helped had taken off her head wear and put it
over my books protecting them from the rain. "What
do you want from my heart today Lord, was just
answered." I didn't know this lady, nor did she
know me or my car, that wasn't the massage. The
massage was, we reap what we sow. What ever you
want for your heart you must sow. Isn't that just
like God to answer our prayers by teaching us
something. He didn't directly answer it he put it
back on me with a life experience.
What ever your heart needs or desires give it
away. Give it away until your heart becomes a
reservoir of life. Is your heart a canal or is it
a reservoir? Is it over flowing or just passing
by? Today giving something precious of yours away
this week. Maybe it's time, maybe its, money,
maybe it's processions. "What do you want for my
heart Lord?" It may be then we realize there are
Angels among us all the time.
