Worship music playing.
My bible laid open upon my lap.
I was simply sitting, reflecting, meditating.
My heart is still a bit broken and scarred from this past weekend. Yet, I knew today would be a good day and I would not let the pain or hurt affect today. Silently I sat asking Papa God to heal the pain. Put a bandaid across my heart.
There was a tiny knock on my bedroom door.
It was my 4 year old Elijah. My kids know I have quiet time and spend time with The Lord early every morning before starting my day, and that unless it is an emergency they should try to not bother me…well I reckon this was a Holy Spirit emergency!
“Mommy I know you are busy but I have something to say. Can I come in?”
I nodded my head, and of course he also carried in hand his Nabi and needed me to turn it on for him. As I held the power button down I couldn’t help but just smile at him and thank the Lord for what a blessing he is. Then it happened…
I handed him his Nabi.
Before walking away he looked at me and smiled and then said “Mommy, I know you did not win the competition we went to this weekend, but God doesn’t love you any less. He still loves you a lot. So do me and Cadia (his 2 year old sister).”
Then he smiled that sheepishly adorable cheek to cheek, ear to ear, smile and walked out of my room.
I couldn’t even respond……I got face palmed by the Holy Spirit through my 4 year old…..
Tears began to flow and I just thanked my Daddy for never leaving or forsaking me. And for reminding me, I may not have won the crown, but I am an even better winner because of how I am raising my children…..
So today, look for God to speak to you even in the most unexpected ways. He did to me…through my 4 year old, all while His word laid wide open in my lap…but those weren’t what I needed to hear this morning. I needed to hear what He had my son speak….
Be reminded today, NOTHING we do, makes God love us any less. No great achievement, no failure or mistake….He still loves us unconditionally and is still jealous for us! Go and melt in His love today! Be blessed above all!
Blessings!
(my little 4 year old blessing Elijah)
