Providence To Purpose...

"...On your love I stand. Because of who You are
I know who I am..."

I unlock this memory for a pertinent reason tonight.  I knew this kid once that shared a story with me. He knew he could tell me because I am not one to get freaked out easily over spiritual matters.  I don't say all I know or have seen because frankly, people are quick to dismiss such things out of hand...even when they have seen things themselves.  They put it out of their minds as though they never saw, heard or felt what they actually saw, heard or felt.  Needless to say, I'm not one of those...

This kid began describing some of the things "prophets" have seen him do concerning his future but the one that really frightened him had to do with a chance encounter.  He was staying at his mother's house.  A mother that was raised in the ministry and operated under the gifts of utterance herself. That night she had come from a meeting with a little woman that had prophesied over her own life with chilling accuracy.  He didn't think anything of it since he's met so many so he left his room to introduce himself.  He said that as he drew closer to her with his hand extended, she recoiled as if to cover her eyes.  She raised her eyes and looked at his mother saying "I can't tell you what just happened but as he came closer to me I felt as though heaven regarded him as something powerful or "great"...I have never felt that before".  He said he just bowed his head in humility and fear allowing them to pray over him.  The kid was visibly shaking retelling this story as though it had just happened to him and I had no words to give him...

What do you tell someone that has heard all his life he was meant for great things but was afraid of all it could mean?  What does he do in choosing an ordinary life still seeing and hearing glimpses of a future that scares the crap out of him?  I have no freakin clue.  Of the kid I can only say that I hope that all he's gone through is enough to prepare him for whatever future God has in store.  As far as I know, he never said no to his purpose...he only feared it.  Thankfully, the scales of that fear have been dropping into the acknowledgement of an inevitable destiny.

For you, my beautiful people, all I will tell you is this:  Too many are afraid to venture into great things simply because they feel their abilities may never meet the task given them. The truth is that God cares less about your ability so long as your availability remains open.  Avail yourself to greatness and He will take care of what abilities you need to meet the task at hand.

Hear that?  That's just me puttin a lock back in place lol
