We like to believe every heart shall receive the same measure of Christ in exactly the same way. ‘Tis not true.
There are but unique paths and divine callings that must be shaped and molded for assignments designed by Heaven’s hand.
Remember Jesus wanted badly to tell the disciples many things, but He said they were not yet ready. It is the same for us.
There is no cookie-cutter way with Jesus. He is a personal God.
His way with one is not His way with another. In this we see the lovely care He gives each heart.
The need in individual lives are complex and what one needs, another does not.
May we stop treating Him as a genie in a bottle. For He knows His way with every heart and the path that is needed to cultivate one for their called mission.
A hardened heart will need a different handling than a wounded and broken one. Should we dare to hurl out careless and standard cliché’s we might damage a lamb that is already down, causing an abrupt halt to what God is doing in a life.
O’ be so tender, Saint, with the lambs of God. For He is jealous for them.
Heaven has a strategy for each and knows not only what they need, but who they need in any given moment.
My mouth must stay shut when I’m not the chosen vessel and carefully nudge the lamb to God’s appointed messenger in any certain season.
Pride has all the answers never allowing for God’s moment by moment spirit to move in for a loving on a heart, but humility knows apart from Jesus we can do nothing.
The wise man or woman acknowledges lack knowing only the Holy Spirit can search adequately a heart for its need.
The one who tenderly formed it in the mother’s womb is the only one who can mend it fully. We must get His direction.
Preach the word always dear Saint but know that more than mere words are often needed with a human heart who is suffering. The word in action is often the best of helping hands.
