Refined in the crucible

One day I was thinking about what to pack in my day pack. While I was thinking the Lord said “pack your hammock and straps your giving them to someone today.” Once the Lord said this i immediately tried to find a loophole to where I could keep those straps. During this week I noticed myself being more close handed and not being as generous as I had been in the past. Once I was done trying to make the Lords will fit mine I submitted to him. I recentered my mind around the truth of the Lord I am a creek, life giving water comes from up on high (the mountains).it flows through me I’m not supposed to hold onto the water because then I’ll be clogged and become stagnant. I am to let it flow I don’t know where it flows to but it doesn’t matter because I know more water will come from him. So I packed my hammock and straps, later on that day the Lord told me who I was giving it to. The Lord told me to give it to one of my friends who lives in Parramos his birthday was the following day  . Once the Lord told me who I was giving it to everything changed because I have a deep love for that person and I’d give them anything I own. After I reflected on this I realized everything in my demeanor and mind changed once love was introduced to the equation. I try to exercise my spirit by being generous , freely it comes so freely it goes, I’m blessed to bless others. After this day I realized it was so much deeper then being generous but have a genuine love for people. My goal was to continue to be generous but now it’s switched. My new goal is to love everyone so deeply that I would be overjoyed to give them everything I have, even if I haven’t spoken a word to them. Check your heart are you loving your neighbor as you love yourself.
