Obedience rewards: Medium & Substack

Do it! Even if you do it scared! When you hear God’s Voice - OBEY!

21 June 2024

(Copied from my Facebook page. I often hear the nudging of the Holy Spirit to share something. I remember I was so tired that night, but I obeyed. I often write, look back, thinking this is not what I wanted to write, but for sure I believe, this is how God wanted it to read.)

♥️TOUGH ONE♥️

A love story with a twist.

I was amused with something he said and done. Turned my head politely in respect, to hide a smile. Only realizing now, from his point of view, he might have seen me chuckle in the car’s mirror. I was not expecting a teenager in a grownup like that.

I don’t move, unless the Holy Spirit move me. I wouldn’t have gotten in that situation on my own.

When I felt the earth move and shake. I tried to fight it. Realizing this is not an ideal situation.

Hard to explain, instinct take over. Good habits to be caring and kind. In an unprecedented situation. I asked carefully if there is enough food in they’re home… I caught from the corner of my eyes, his eyes squinting for a split second.

Did he wonder, does she truly care? Or maybe, seems like a soft next target?

It got a very messy situation. Hurtful. My trust in God suffered. For I was certain I hear God clearly.

I have learned a lot of hard lessons about men. And faith and religion.

When God said I must apologize to him, I seized an opportunity to sneak in a gift of love.

One of my most precious books.

The Greatest Salesman of the World.

I know.

As Christian I also didn’t want to read it, but, by the grace of God I did.

I think I’ve add a note to explain. I read the book in a low point in my life. I found Jesus in the book anew!

Maybe, in my personal discretion, I judged him wrong, but I offered him the gift of love, found in Matthew 22:37-39.

I meant well, I summed up his bitterness, unforgiveness, resentment and frustration. I wanted to share with him what made a positive difference in my life, when I also was angry, bitter and frustrated. Sad too.

Only now, in hindsight, I realized the magnificence and bold power move, by giving that specific book.

Swiftly I acted. Seizing the moment. Opportunistic bold and brave, through the Holy Spirit.

He said, he is not a good person. I replied immediately, neither am I.

I meant it. I am not. I am not a nice person. Complicated and difficult. With a sad and bad past.

Yet, I judged him very arrogantly.

God dealt with me. Brought me to me knees in realization what a sinner I am. Yet, even though I tried to be as obedient possible to God.

I fall in love and in a bad situation lost it.

Out of my mind with concern. Stunned by a soul connection.

We never even shook hands with formal introduction, no way of knowing if he has firm handgrip or not.

Never really looked him in the eyes.

Just the privilege of a few moments he dropped his guard to reveal a sweet and sensitive soul.

I was willing to obey God, but I got rejected with worst choice of words in two sentences.

It came as a shock, what on earth, was he interested in me?

Unbelievable that someone like him, might have even be interested in someone like me.

Rejection by God’s chosen.

Twice!

It’s taken a longer while to get over it.

Again.

Crash, Boom, Bang.

My heart I carefully guarded, shattered in pieces.

Remembering the lessons taught by God through this all, if I ever fall in love again.

True love don’t care for money.

If he had nothing, I would have given away everything I had, and start from the bottom all over with a new beginning, side by side.

However, if he read the book, maybe like Hafid’s love for his Lisha, persevered to become successful in building an empire, just to give it away at the end of the book, for the greatest purpose, spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It will forever remain an event in my life that happened, which I also grieved and can’t hide.

I never, ever meant to cause any damage.

I sincerely cared in a very lumpish way.

Naive & sincere.

Stupid.

Embarrassed.

I’m only human too.

For may I never be a book wrongly judged, because I am who I am, an open book.

Crystal clear illuminated, shining my light as faithfully possible, with my unique gifts and talents.

The end…..

Or maybe another beginning.

I googled to get a picture of The Greatest Salesman of the World, and somehow, I ended with that link and shared it, without completely reading it.

I only read it the next morning and bursted out in tears, in ABSOLUTE AWE of God!

It was just perfect.

This was my first experience with Medium.

Which lead me to Substack….

But you must wait for the next blog / blogs to hear how the story of obedience started and where it all lead to.

Love,

Daisy

PS:

As always, excuse the mistakes. I have OCD, but I am not perfect.

Still a work in progress.
