You Can Listen To Your Heart, But I Wouldn't Follow It.

The other night I went to dinner with Mrs. Dell at P.F. Changs. While I was in the CVS parking lot, waiting to meet her, I got bored and went in to buy myself chocolate (I don't mind spoiling my dinner). When I came back out this little car was parked next to me, quite crookedly, so that it's license plate faced me as I got into my car. It said "Isa. 30:21". Lucky for me, I had my backpack in the car with my Bible, so I looked it up.

"Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left." (Isaiah 30:20-21)

If anyone ever says "I don't believe in God because He doesn't reveal himself to me" I will laugh in their face. Sort of. Well, I wouldn't do that, but I would definitely bring up this example. This is where God pulls me aside and says, "Remember who I am, Kristina Lorraine!" I mean, when I read this in my car, I was pretty floored. Along with grateful and humbled and comforted. Life has played enough hide and seek for my liking, and I have been the seeker and the hider many times and in many situations and I'm not proud of either. I have pleaded for direction, begged for understanding, and nagged for God to tell me that I am undoubtedly doing the "right thing" about all sorts of things. This verse was exactly, exactly, what I needed, but He knew that before that moment I wasn't ready or willing to accept or understand that Truth. Thank you, Father, for knowing me better than I know myself.

Oh, Amor de mi corazon, gracias por Su Verdad.
