the rain storm

a long time gone...

this whole blog thing is not an easy task for me, with great intentions but little action to write...

so what leads me to scribe now you may ask...

recently i was sitting in church in our hometown at Renovatus Church listening to the story of Jacob and Esau...

how Jacob through deception was blessed by his father Isaac instead of Esau...

so it made me realize that we don't truly understand the nature of the Lords blessing...

the Lord has this all out, full of utter excitement, passionate desire to show us and shower us with His blessing...

so what is it about this blessing...

that actual definition of the word is:
the invoking of Gods favor on a person...

Ephesians 3:1 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ...

God desires to show His favor in our lives, and often time we see it, we watch it, yet we leave it...

i feel the Lord gave me a basic childlike understanding of the meaning and idea of how He wants us to view the Blessing in which He so desires for us...

the first thing we must realize is that His blessing is not something that is limited or runs out, EVER...

currently sitting through a rain storm, think of the rain as His blessing, if we walk outside with an umbrella, we see it, we can feel it, yet we block it from actually touching us...

imagine walking out in the rain storm as a child, rain boots on and dancing in the puddles, arms wide open and face towards the sky, wanting to get hit by every drop...

this is the desire and vision the Lord has for us, He wants us to spread our arms wide, lift our face to Him, begging for His blessing, waiting for His blessing...

actually open to receiving His blessing...

i think we are scared of it...

a challenge, spend the next week talking to the Lord, and asking for his blessing to be poured on you in a way that is undeniable...

open your heart, your mind, you soul...

His blessing is full, His blessing is constant, His blessing is beyond what we can imagine...

don't ask for something specific, just asked to receive and understand His true and gracious gift of His blessing...

its a journey worth taking, no questions, no gimmicks, no doubts, just "RAD"

its over, now what!
