Can He?
A couple of mornings back I woke up too early but was able to drift back into my neither world. I thought I’d share a little bit of this dream. A group of about 7 well dressed women all came up to me and handed me a most beautiful vase. As I can recall the color of the large vase was laden with antique gold markings with a dark background. Upon the vase were the words:
“Can He?”
The ladies seemed to be asking me a question in giving me that vase. Excited, I thought: Can He? Think about it; is there literally anything that God cannot do? If He can see the deep anguish in your heart, cannot He make it whole? Many are going through tough times but remain silent, yet God sees it all. The hopelessness of addiction can be a double life filled with despair. Jesus delivered the lunatic that was filled with demons. A lonely heart yearning for a morsel of understanding sits in the darkness. The Holy Spirit can send a empathetic ear that will fill the void in your soul. I can only imagine how lonely Peter felt after he denied Jesus. Mothers have wrestled with many a sleepless night praying for a loved one, then beat themselves up later for their “lack of faith.” Every unimaginable hardship matters to God. If your heart is right, He has heard your prayers!
“Can He?”
This morning, I challenge all of those who ask themselves “Can He?” Remind yourselves that God does what pleases Him and gives what is best for us while we go through the process of refinement. The vase in my dream was empty and that told me that it is our task to fill the container with the fragrance of the fruit of His Spirit. The thought of “Can He?” will build strong character in your life the next time you cross that river because you will know He Can and Will!
Would you pray with me?
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for giving us this time to feed our spirits and nourish our souls. We put down any doubts and hesitation in our faith and we embrace the grace that has been given to us. Thank you for your Son who heals all wounds. We deliberately release our loneliness, our old ways of thinking and all hurts to you and we choose to forgive those who have offended us. Take all these things and fill our hearts up with your joy! Thank you Father.
In Jesus we ask amen.
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalm 119:130
