Gods love is true Kindness! Kindness is love in action. Kindness create a blessing. So, even when we cannot ‘feel’ the love, we can still see the actions and we can and do, still receive the blessings.
Something happened the other day, which may seem small and even inconsequential, but to me it was such a blatant reminder that God love us in Detail. He cares about the big things and the small things and he answers are prayers in big ways and small ways.
A very special friend of mine has recently had to face a very worrying issue. Although she loves the Lord so much and has faith that can move mountains, she still gets emotionally pulled down by her own humanity and the gravity of the situation. But God knows and understands our humanity and our weakness and sometimes he sends a little extra encouragement to help us through. On this particular day, when I was praying for her, I asked the Lord to give me a scripture that I could give to her some reassurance. I am not one of those people that has scriptures or verses rolling around in my head so the Lord had to be quite specific. He gave me the words “I have you in the palm of my hand”, so I went on-line to Bible Gateway which is my favorite place for looking up scriptures and I came straight to Isaiah 49:16-18 which reads …
“Look, I have written your name on the palm of my hand. The walls you are building are never out of my sight. Your builders are faster than your wreckers. The demolition crews are gone for good. Look up, look around, look well! See them gathering and coming to you. As sure as I am the living God “You’re going to put them on like so much jewelry, you’re going to use them to dress up like a bride.”
Well, let me tell you, every single statement in there was confirmation of battles fought, victories won and promises made. There could not have been a more perfect scripture for her at a more perfect time. And even more perfect, was the fact that at the exact same time, she was given a picture from the Lord of Jesus holding up his hand with with the message ‘I LOVE YOU’ tattooed in blood. A wonderful confirmation of the scripture. A beautiful act of kindness from a God who loves us in such detail!
