Well the kids are in bed, hubby is at work and as I lay here and reflect on my day I am washed over with a wave of love, protection, peace and wisdom from the days events. I realise as I sit here that each day is filled with the opportunity to make it all worth while. There were many challenges and struggles through out the day - all of which I have made peace with as I sit here writing. Gosh is the Lord just not amazing how He brings things to light in such subtle ways. You know my day was wrapped up in other peoples attitudes, thoughts, words...how we are so easily influenced by the world we live in. It was so important that I reminded myself each and every second of the day that I am a child of The Most High, I needed to take a few Selah moments and just take in the word and embrace my place...(Christine Cane thank you by the way for those three amazing words that have impacted the way I think of each and every situation in my life!)
I saw very clearly as the days events unfolded that the Lord has each and every second of the day planned before hand. As I looked into every situation through out the day, I just kept reminding myself that I need to love people no matter what! It was a struggle and as it got to the end of the day I was feeling like I needed to spend some quiet time in prayer with the Lord. I needed clarification, confirmation, guidance.... I just felt like I needed His peace to be laid over my days events.
We got to the school, picked the kids up as usual and on our way home, my eldest son tells me in a disturbed kind of way, that one of the kids at the school had called me a witch, "she said you are ugly mommy and you have big teeth." Now, I am human and although these comments were from a 4 year old - it still hurt to some degree, especially after the kind of day I had had!
So, I just looked at my son and said, "oh honey, I am sorry. So what did you say?" and he replied in the sweetest, most loving voice, "I told her that you were pretty mommy." My heart at that point could not handle the love I was feeling from my son at that point. And all the thoughts of going to speak to that child's mother about how disrespectful and blah blah blah...it all just fell to the way side, and something just came over me...it was the peace I was looking for all day, it was the Lord telling me "What does it matter, you know who you are in Me, you know how much you mean to Me...love them no matter what."
How awesome is that!The Lord spoke my confirmation that I was praying about through my amazing little boy. I mean, here it is again, that jaw dropping heart stopping amazing unexplainable love...His love is just SO much more than we can even fathom.
So the message I am sending my son is the same message I received from my Father, "Honey, you tell your friend that mommy still loves them even though they said I was ugly, it's not important. Just tell them that we love them no matter what."
What an important lesson I was reminded of and an even more important message for me to teach my son. It doesn't matter what people, think say or do...it's not important. We need to focus on our relationship with the Lord through it all and be obedient to His word...that is where we will ultimately find our peace, love and joy in this life to the next.
It is so much easier to just love people, through the good and the bad. The Lord speaks His truth through us when we are obedient to this very simple instruction from our Father,
John 13:34-35
