Once again, God has taught me something new this week first
by giving me the information and then by letting me experience it. It is a three part lesson that involves a TV
clip, a moment of communion, and affirmation.
Earlier this week, I heard something on TV that totally
stuck with me: The AHA! moment happens when spirit is talking to spirit in
truth. Those light bulb moments when you
really, truly get it in a way that you never have before is when the spirit of
truth from someone else is speaking to my spirit.
Wednesday night, at the very end of Bible study class, one
of the ladies shared a struggle she has had over the last year with someone
near and dear to her. He is experiencing
anger with God for certain situations in his life. He fights himself every week, bad mood and
all, to come to church but then is always happy he came by the time he leaves.
I knew I wanted to talk to her after class but I wasn’t sure
what to say to her. As I sat across from
her, the words of encouragement and claiming victory over Satan’s attacks flowed. I remember looking straight into her eyes and
hers connected with mine and the thought that “our eyes are the window to our
souls” crossed my mind. I felt a deep
connection and I think she did, too. In
reflecting on that moment in addition to what I had learned earlier in the week
about the AHA moment, I see now that the deep connection I felt was our spirits
connecting. Our spirits communed in that
moment.
I remember at the end of the conversation she said, “Wow,
tonight I got two lessons. One during
class and one after.” My thought, “Something
just happened here.”
I struggle a lot with telling stories like this because I am
scared they sound boastful. I feel like
I’m bragging that I’m something special that God uses me in this way, both
professionally and personally. But, as
another one near and dear to me today said, “God works in this world but He
uses people to do that work. God used
you today.” So, I am going to claim
it. Not because I am great but because I
know God uses the smallest, the least, to do His work. That’s how I know all the glory belongs to
Him.
