that "nudging" feeling...

in my life...i have been on both sides of that "nudging" feeling...and let me tell you...being on the receiving end is sometimes...nothing short of a miracle...

have you ever been there? you are feeling alone? perhaps misunderstood...perhaps forgotten...and then that phone rings...it is a completely random person who felt that "nudging"...and felt that they should call...just to say hello...to check in...but to you...it is everything...and you stand there...marveling at the love your Father has for you...because at the right moment...in the right setting...and in the exact right words...God loved you enough to send a little message...just to let you know...that you matter to Him...

but...that person that God placed a thought on...needed to be obedient...how many times have you gotten a nudging? and thought...oh...it's nothing...

there are times...sometimes...where i feel like nothing big is going on...and i have learned during these times to be extra sensitive to what i am feeling...and thinking...because it has been in these moments...where God has wanted to use me...to bless someone else...what a remarkable honor...

is your life humdrum? everything is going smoothly...no major conflicts week in and week out? there are times when God seems to bless and keep us from stress...but often those times are unexciting and routine...when you find yourself there...try this - study the leading of the Holy Spirit...and practice it...

even at the most uneventful times...we must learn to stay attuned...we can share God's blessings with people all around us...whether saved or unsaved...there is something for everyone for blessing, healing, salvation...by following God's leading...you could save a marriage...a friendship...a life!

have you been "nudged" to visit a neighbor? or to hug your child as he trudged off to school? or had a "nudge" thought about a relative or friend whom you have not seen for a long time? don't brush the thought aside thinking, "oh, that's just me." take the time to study, pray and obey...and you will find new joy as you are led by the Holy Spirit...

we never live uneventfully when we keep alive the readiness to be used of God wherever we go...
