Sometimes he's silent.
Maybe because she wasn't listening.
And he guessed, she probably thought she was better off without him; so he shall not intervene.
But of course, she stands corrected, as always.
She is not and will never be better off without him. She knows.
But you know us, we never want to face the hard solutions, never want to confront the difficult truth.
Why travel the breadth and width of the desert land when we already know we'll end up right where we should have just stood?
People.. he thought, they never learn.
She cried for answers.
What answer? He said.
I don't know! Just tell me what to do, where to start.
Start right where you are!
I'm hopeless right where I am. I'm not good enough..
They both kept quiet. She looked away and closed her wet eyes. She will stop crying, every drop has conveyed enough of their parts of her story. And then before she could rashly conclude that he is not concerned anymore, she felt a soft gush of breath in her ear.
I'm not looking for capabilities. I'm looking for a heart that is after mine, He whispered. Dismiss your ugly thoughts. I have plans for you, rise and walk in my will.
You don't have to be talented or great to serve Him, only a willing heart to surrender your five loaves and two small fish. He will make it into an abundance. -Ivy
