Oh Lord, how You open our eyes! There’s no telling, no guess who, what, where, when, how.. yet You open our eyes, until we can see.
The way You had AA write of food, and how she found it gluttony in her life not because she overate or was overweight or a slave to it, but rather because she would choose to eat in order to satisfy herself. I’d never thought of it that way before – I’ve really never thought about gluttony or its place in my life at all to be honest.
Today;; You opened my eyes not only to the above, but to a happening that could rather be seen as opportunity, a gift given to give back. It’s arranged that I am taking a friend out to dinner today. Now, this friend is lovely, open, adventurous, a person I love to be around for my heart feels spoken sweetly to. Anywho, I'm picking up a friend to go out to dinner then a girl's basketball game... and i was just thinking about it, where we'll eat, what it'll be like & suddenly the picture changed & it came to my mind, why would i do anything, why would i ever go anywhere without the intention of sharing His Name and great goodness??! seriously, what is the point of doing anything at all if it's not springing out of the desire for our Lord, Christ Jesus to be more rightly known and glorified??! that changes perspective... & the thought of my date [w/ a girl friend] tonight changed from 'woo fun finally get to spend some time and get to know this girl' to 'yesss, finally get to know this girl, hopefully from the inside out, her heart, maybe i'll get to share Jesus with her, i hope she know Him' --it went from being an event to being an opportunity...
..just thought i'd share. (:
