Drop.....

Proverbs 15:23 says "A word spoken in due season, how good it is!"

This has always been one of my favorite verses. My love language is words. My strongest spiritual gift is words of encouragement. I feel alive both when i am speaking and writing words. When words are spoken to me they impact me. However, i try to keep a very careful check that my satisfaction and drive/desire is not in words but in the Creator of words.

A couple of days ago words were spoken to me that i had not heard in a very very long time. These were words that i was use to hearing in the past and when i entered the dry wilderness they completely ceased. I did not look for these words. THe lack of this particular kind of words sure made me feel like i was not operating as one surrendered and made me feel very misplaced. Then the drop of water came!

I have had a many words spoken to me, unexpectedly, in due season, that have surely blessed me, but none like this drop (by drop i mean droplet, like a droplet of water). It was soooo refreshing that it humbled my soul and brought me immediately into the arms of my Father. My sleep was sweet that night and i awoke with a song in my heart! It was like almost two years on trek in the dry wilderness without a map and a drop of the most purest water, fortified with all kinds of good stuff, in one drop was given to me. I felt like Lucy, once again, refreshed by another brief visit or sighting by her Beloved Aslan (Chronicles of Narnia, of which i am in the process of reading out loud to children).

I know i am a bit dramatic and over the top but i wanted to write this as a milestone, like they did in the old testament, of GOd's faithfulness to me, and have record of it in my blog (which is reason for my blog). To me, this was huge, and i am very very thankful and full of worship to our King!
