Let me preface this post with a bit of personal history. About 16 months ago the LORD gave me a wonderful gift. When HE desires to share something with me, I hear the sound of chimes. When I hear this shimmering sound I grow silent and still, and like Samuel I say "speak LORD, for YOUR servant is listening". What follows is an excerpt from today's prayer journal.
"Heavenly FATHER, thank YOU for speaking to me this morning as I spent time alone seeking YOU. I heard the silvery tinkling of bells and knew that YOU wanted to tell me something. At first, all I heard was "roses". I thought that odd and asked for more. YOU said "roses bloom against the snow". This still didnt seem like something YOU would say, so I thought perhaps it was my own mind creating things.. In way of further explanation, I sensed YOU telling me that if a rose can survive and bloom in the snow its beauty is all the more astounding, and that when we bloom and prosper in the midst of hardships, YOU receive more glory. To confirm this, later in the morning I received an e-card from a card site I had visited. The theme of the card was "stop and smell the roses". How YOUR words and YOUR ways of confirming them delight me! May I never grow tired of seeking YOUR voice, in JESUS name"
