Many times, God will reveal to me insight on what to write about before the morning comes. This time, I sat in His Presence and waited for His direction.
Last night, after the workshop and a visit with a friend, a very close friend of mine had an emergency and needed to be picked up from a motel. I didn’t hesitate at all and barely broke any speed limit laws to get there.
When this person got in the car, there were tears. Right off the bat, I asked, “Do you need to spend the night?”, and said, “You don’t have to tell me anything.”
You know, God doesn’t look at circumstances, gender, different paths, etc. to decide whether or not He loves someone. He simply loves them. This person opened up…had met someone online, agreed to meet at and pay for a motel (in hopes of being reimbursed), was hoping for a relationship, but, after being used, was abandoned. In the past, I’ve been broken like that but never had someone there to pick me up.
I knew this person felt cheap because that’s how I used to feel and am so thankful that I never have to feel that way again. I talked about God’s love for this person and their worth, and that the fact that it was so upsetting to them proved that they knew their worth and value. Tears reveal so much.
One of my heart’s desires is to be a safe place for people. Isolation causes so much damage…unspoken damage. I always want to hear, think, speak, pray, and move through God’s heart, and encounter people as they really are: His valued treasures!
