I recently heard Bishop Bill Hamon share about friends & employees in your life and how to deal with them. I then had the opportunity this past weekend to hear him share on this again and expound on it more. As I am listening Holy Spirit speaks to me to follow through in 2 areas in my life. I am happy to report that both have been accomplished as I write this today.
First task was to go to the Chinese restaurant in which I contracted food poisoning recently. Holy Spirit shows me going there and explaining to them that even though I got sick I was thankful to them because I was able to trust in God to take care of me & see me through that. An employee I do not think understood what I was trying to explain. They kept wanting me to give my phone number for the owner to call me. I said that was not necessary because I was thankful for the opportunity to call upon my Father in heaven and the experience caused me to draw closer to God. I tried to give the employee a cash amount Holy Spirit showed me giving them as a blessing. They kept waving to me like no money. So I then placed the money in the donation/tip box and left.
One down and 1 more to go now. Head to church and bless the person I do beleive I sat next to many months ago and I contracted covid. How in the heck was I going to approach this one? I really sought Holy Spirit on how to bless this person. I saw the amount of cash and already had it set aside for the right moment. I think I am going to search for this person and just tell them something like this, Holy Spirit wanted me to bless you with a little treat/coffee/snack money blessing. See, it is imperative to listen to the heartbeat of Holy Spirit direction in your life. Be sensitive to His nudge and not try to figure it out in your own mind/might. It totally changed from what I thought would happen. As I am sitting there in church He gently speaks to my heart to take the money out and ever so gently slip it under the tissue box sitting right next to me. To leave the cash blessing for whomever finds it at church. See, I would have messed this up big time if I acted out of what I thought was the way to approach this. I followed through and obeyed Holy Spirit.
I went after church to a store while I was in close distance to the store after church. I found absolutely nothing there and drove home. I was kind of tired while driving home and I actually laid down to take a nap for about an hour when I got home. So unlike my manner to just lay down and take a nap in the middle of the day. I also went for a walk today early in the evening. Oh, if you want a decadent treat I recommend getting the orange cranberry Irish soda bread from Sprouts Market.
You know there are times in which this solitude life I live can get quite quiet. I ask the Lord to have someone call me and see how I am doing and give words of encouragement to me. It tends to be me being the one calling others with words of encouragement. Why do you think this is, I know the reason. I have had this conversation more than once with Holy Spirit. He shares with me that the words spoken over my life come from me seeking Him and He is the one that blesses my life. I find contentment in that for He never leaves me or forsakes me. Please know there are times when others do call to check in on me, for that I am grateful in those times & moments. Know that God is love.
