Was my message to a friend one Monday after she had an unexpected visitor showed up at her house. I shared with her a post I love from Tumblr.com:
“Dear Human: You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity.”
On Tuesday, she sent me another message that she’s struggling over what had happened that Sunday and asked me to call her. I had another idea, though, for her to pick 10 pages from my unpublished book and see what God had to say to her. She went along with this idea and decided she will read every 20th page starting on page 20 to 40, 60, 80 and so on.
She gets to page 20 and unbelievably of all things there, this exact quote I had sent her the day before. Her response was: “Girl talk about a God wink. After that, I decided to forgive and let go. It just makes me want to cry to see how amazing God is. What are the chances of me going on that exact page first out of all those pages in your book.”
And she’s not alone in this messy love. I’m sure we all have our share to deal with, but I’m encouraged by God to stay on the high road with Him, becoming the superhuman and superwife He has challenged me to be, practicing endless mercy, grace (pardoning without punishment), patience and forgiveness, being my most loving self. He even sent me a special wink of my own reading a post on Facebook:
“Smile, things are working out. You may not see it now, but just know God is directing you to a much greater happiness.” I feel it!
Dear God, may we learn all the messy love lessons You would have us to learn, loving others the way You love us. Amen.
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
