I don't have much to say today. All I have to say though is this.......
The song you are going to hear today aptly expresses my desire!!
We all at one point or the other, if not always, desperately need and hope for blessings from the Lord.
The question is, "are you ready to receive?"
Let me quickly chip in this analogy. Imagine there are two balls at your disposal, a plastic tennis ball and an original basket ball; there are two people in front of you; say a 3yrs old toddler and a 23 yrs old youth. You have to throw both balls from a distance. It's compulsory, both lives depend on you throwing these balls. They are both looking at you with longing in their eyes begging you to save them. Who would you throw which ball at and why??!!! Can the toddler handle the hit of a basketball??? No!! Not until he/she has grown in strength! However, by all human standards, the youth will definitely handle the hit of the basket ball better than the toddler. So I personally will throw the plastic tennis ball at the toddler and then the basket ball at the youth! Because that's what I feel they can handle as individuals. That's what they are ready for!!
That said, let me break it down; by ready, I mean...........
what's your motive for wanting this?
Are you mature enough to handle what you are asking for?
Are you broken enough to not take the glory from God?
Are you ready to use this blessing?
Are you ready to be a blessing to people around you in return?
Is your heart ready? Do you have even the tiniest mustard seed-like faith at least?!
Think on this, people and while you are at thinking enjoy this beautiful song by
Jamal Strong and the triple mass choir -"My hands are lifted up". It's a very easy song to learn too! Just nine lines. Please sing along!
Cheers to a blessings filled week!!!
LYRICS
My hands are lifted up
My heart is ready to receive
A blessing from you
A blessing from you
make me, break me
shake me, mold me
my heart is ready to receive
a blessing from you
a blessing from you (repeat)
