CAR TALKS AND GOD TALKS

WHISPERS FROM FATHER

"I truly believe that for the few minutes I was being born, God stopped time and wept at my perfection. I truly believe He reached down, held me, and whispered to me,"I'm rooting for you kid.'"

Sitting in the car driving to have dinner with David and Mr. and Mrs. Welch; for some reason or another this moment in Becca's life was recalled. In that moment when she recalled this extraordinary experience she shared with the Lord, I just wanted to weep. In those quiet moments when you hear Him speak to you so unmistakably clear; it is like time stops. Those moments are nothing less than amazing.

I can recall times when I had a moment that the Lord spoke softly and sweetly to my spirit and how it touched me to the very core. These words that He gave her, so eloquently written, draw up a deep yearning for quiet moments of awesome power with the Holy Spirit within me. Those words that He spoke to her; that she so benevolently shared with me, touched my heart. I felt that I shared in that moment with her. It drew up deep and lingering emotion.

I believe wholly that He shares a moment like the one Becca wrote of with each of His children. That thought touches something within me so yearning for a Father. I just sit and ponder on the emotions and feelings of the Lord. He must feel so deeply for each of us. In those moments when we are being born into this world I can see Him smile like a big proud father. I can hear Him saying, "Look at what I have created. Nothing short of beautiful, nothing short of glorious, nothing short of mine..."

I believe completely just as Becca said, that He weeps over us with utter and complete joy. I believe He whispers to us words of affirmation and love. I believe He touches each of us, sending us into the world with a blessing and a purpose. I believe He roots for us with everything within Him. He wants only to see us prosper.

I feel blessed that Becca shared with me this experience. In a way it breaks my heart; but at the same time, it refreshes and revives it. His love is great and powerful and everlasting. How incredible a thought that is! I pray that I can have some quiet moments with the Lord to allow Him to whisper to me. I miss those moments. They bring so much life.

(Sidebar, this song came on while I wrote the majority of this post. This is what I believe the Lord sings over us. He more than loves us, more than wants us. From the highest heights and the deepest depths, He loves.)

"...What I'm really trying to say is

I more than love you

I more than want you

I more than love you

From the depths, from the depths of me

I more than love you

I more than want you

You’ve left me speechless

I more than need you

Words fail..."
