Thankful when the Lord reminds me of the desires he once put in my heart that I have either forgotten or started to think them as a thing of the past.

Isaiah 55:9-11
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it."

He reminded me today to ask for the nations again. It's been a while. A moment too long. I remember carrying it on my heart. The nations. That certain anticipation that he is doing great things and I get to join in his grand plan to love him deeply in ways I've never seen. To see miracles and signs and wonders. To be a light. To bring hope. A sustaining one. To speak forth truth out of His Spirit and Truth. A love that blankets everything. When I think about justice, the things of God, I wonder where that fire and zeal has gone? The growing pains echo in the deepest part of my heart. I am seeing now that the things of God requires a deep work of the heart. What I was once passionate about is still there, but it has taken a much more steady turn. Give me eyes that perceive and not just see. The things you have spoken over me, over us, long before in preparation.

One thing I am reminded of again: God is not one to let his purposes and desire go to pass until he sees it fulfilled.

God, I am still attentive. Here we are, equip us, speak to your church, for Your servants are listening. Send us in due time. Keep us present here meanwhile.
