THIS WEEK'S KIDMO...
I have a super friend (let's call him Ernie) who said to me today; "the Lord gave me a message for you a week ago and I meant to give it to you on Wednesday night last week, but I forgot, and I meant to give it to you on Sunday, and I forgot again, but today I remembered to tell you He is pleased you are an eager servant.
Ernie felt really bad he hadn't passed along the Lord's message to me until a week later. What Ernie DIDN'T know is last week my ears didn't need that message, nor did I need it Sunday... but today... TODAY the enemy pulled at me, hid my eagerness for serving, and filled me with a sense of tiredness and 'duty' instead of an eagerness to serve. What Ernie didn't know is TODAY I needed the message he 'forgot' to give me.
I don't think Ernie 'forgot' a thing. I think the Lord knew Ernie needed to bide his time until the message was needed.
Today, I was tested. Today, I recieved a message to place my faith and eagerness to serve back into perspective.
Thanks Ernie, I'm glad you 'forgot'. Keep delivering your messages...
"This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." 1JOHN 1:5
