Tonight I stopped for the one. I don't do it often enough. I'm blinded by my busy life, my car full of groceries needing to be unloaded, my sink full of dishes, my piles of laundry, and a million other things. I'm blinded....sometimes by choice. If I'm really honest with myself, am I WILLING to see the one? To stop, take the time to listen and engage and LOVE? Or is it easier to just be "too busy" to stop?
This evening I ended up in a conversation that was longer than I anticipated, but as I began to really listen, I felt the Lord whisper to my heart, "Stop for the one. Love the one." So, for once, I stopped and just listened. The circumstances that were shared with me are heart-wrenching. The need for Jesus makes my heart ache. But somehow, I came away from the conversation incredibly blessed and uplifted by the Lord. As I listened, I felt Him resourcing my heart with love and compassion. I felt Him sharing His heart with me. How totally WORTH IT.
I think I want to be less "blinded" by my life. I think I want to learn to listen better to God's whispers. I want to stop for the one again.
Watch this. 2 minutes that could change the way you live your life.
