"Se fue la luz"

     

     "Se fue la luz," a phrase that you will hear quite often which basically means that the electricity cut off.  Last night as I was snuggled up under my blanket with the fan on turbo speed awaiting a call from my best friend/fiancé Eddie, what happened?... "Se fue la luz...."  Immediately I found myself in pitch black darkness, heat quickly seeping into my once comfortable blanket, and a quick realization that with the electricity goes the wifi and that special call was not going to happen.

     So here I am beginning to now sweat in my bed, which is something I absolutely cannot stand for, and I feel like being really frustrated.  God interupted me before I could even start thinking of reasons why this was so inconvenient and began to speak to me in the darkness.  I couldn't lie, I had began feeling tired that day and just wanted to feel a sense of home.

     "I am home," God said to me.  I sat up in my bed, searched for the flashlight on my phone and opened my bible.  "Okay God, what is it? I'm here, I won't run this time, I won't busy myself this time, I can't go anywhere.  Please, speak into me," I prayed.

     God is a gentleman.  He doesn't push in on our privacy and he doesn't force us into relationship with Him.  But like what happened to me last night, he shut off the lights and canceled my plans because He knew I needed a divine intervention for Him to reveal himself to me afresh.  Last night when the electricity went out, God and I had a heart to heart conversation. He revealed to me some things that I needed to hear and graciously anointed me with the love that I was yearning to feel.

     I am thankful that I have a God who does that.. Who loves me enough to pursue me.  Be encouraged that God doesn't forsake or abandon, but pursues; and as you respond to Him, He will begin to clean and heal and bandage and lavish love into every cavern and crevice that exists inside of you.

May God bless you fully,
