if you know me, you know what an important number this has been for me..it is as a kiss from God. A direction, a word, a choice.
if you know me, you know that my heart is to minister to the poor..to street kids as well as adults. To LOVE them as HE has loved me when the rest of the world shuns them.
today I am on facebook and a friend of mine from TBI posts a video to a Nickelback song…
the lyrics are AMAZING!!
Anywho…this friend posts a portion of the lyrics…
“Would you donate every dime you have?
And would you call old friends you never see..
Reminisce memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one your dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above,
That you’ll finally fall in love?
If today was your last day”
Then goes on to talk about Luke 12 and how Jesus is telling his disciples not to worry about anything cause basically God’s got their back. One thing Jesus did say (yes it is a command, nowhere in this portion of scripture does He say..wait on God, or if you feel like you should..or maybe do it..he says clear as day. Oh and this isn’t the portion of scripture where He is speaking directly to the rich man), “sell all you have and give alms” (give to the poor). This is something that I have been really really dealing with for the last 2 or 3 years. Today revelation hit me like a ton of bricks, earlier today I asked God for forgiveness, for Him to break me and ruin me for all else but HIM. Then I log on to blueletterbible.org to read this chapter of scripture. And I see something I have never seen before!!
| Luk 12:33 | Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. |
I see the address of said passage and as I glanced over it I read Luke 3:33 instead of 12:33. Of course this catches my attention cause, hey I though I was on chapter 12. I look back and realize I am on chapter twelve…wait..what? Huh? then that still small voice says loud and clear…what is 1+2…3
So I guess I am not that far out on left field, as some would have me believe…and I will probably start having some yard sales here soon..♥ Papa, I love you! Thank you for your daily mercy and grace and for quick clear direction. I LOVE You!
