A MESSAGE FROM GOD
One day I entered my car to go somewhere and a feeling came over me that I needed to turn on the radio and listen to a Christian radio station. Was God sending me a message? He sent a powerful one before so I figured it would be better to check it out.
The first radio station was on a commercial. I did not figure God was concerned about how much I could save on car insurance. The next Christian radio station I came across had a woman talking about writing a sermon. She admitted she had been stuck on what to write about. She was reading a book at the time which had referenced Ezekiel 37:1-14. This passage referred to how God breathed life into dry bones of an army. This brought the bones back to life. I felt that this was the message. God was about to breathe life back into me. Turns out, that was only part of the message.
Before going home, I stopped at a coffee shop where I saw a young lady I had previously met. I told her about what had happened and she replied that the passage was one of her favorites. She had not thought of it for a while, and it was something she needed to hear at that time. God is good.
Later at home, I read the chapter from my Bible. While reading this, I saw I had highlighted a passage some time ago. I do not remember doing this though. The passage was Ez36:26, “and I will give you a new heart- I will give you new and right desires-and put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony hearts of sin and give you new hearts of love. Both of these passages describe what I am going through at this time of my life. From the upheaval of my life until now, it has been very painful times, but also extremely healing. I feel so much lighter in my heart. All the crying, praying, and taking care of myself and not others, has broken the wall I built around my heart. God was going to take that heart and give me a ‘new’ one. This explained why I had been so confused before. I knew I had love in my heart, why could I not feel it?
I can definitely feel it right now, and it is a fantastic feeling. It is great to feel His Love and the love from others. It feels even better to give out love to others. I do need to work on sending some of that love my way. It becomes easier each day as I find out more and more about myself. I still struggle at times, but instead of wallowing in self-pity, hatred, and anger, I turn it over to God. God has given me a message and this time I am all ears.
