When King David was killing bears and lions he had no public applaud or even much awareness how God was going to use his skills for much grander performance performed publicly. Yet God had already declared that the slingshot shepherd and songwriter of holy high hallelujah mingled with lamentation is the one; so when it was time for David to show what he’s got- courage, good aim and poise the private audience was not sheep or bears or lions- it was a soldier with all the protection his army provided, none of which was enough to save Goliath or scare David. David was confident the God who save him from the lion and the bear and gave him the courage and strength to attend to his sheep was not about to fail him now that he was assigned the task of saving a nation.
Life has its way of making its plan supersede my human ideas of compassion and grace- qualities that help the heart heal much better than any prescription or diet. I had no clue how God as I understand God would use a gregarious introvert whose heart is exposed to the freedom of reality and unhidden from the slavery of utopia somehow always manages to enjoy the moment. I have to hand it to Life for breaking down the callous plaque of emotional buildup and the courage to allow my heart to continue to give and receive the very qualities that I keep polishing and polishing and polishing using the practicing tools I call everyday life situations, as perfect fertilizer. There were moments and long periods when I felt like it is a waste of time; I figured heck with time. I would rather lose to Life than to waste energy fueling the fears of time or pain of memory. Letting the heart live in hiding and then calling it stupid is a waste of time and of energy. I did not want to keep doing that to a very good heart. God already knew that!
Like David- King David I can boldly declare that the God that resuscitate me from the tempest that was twirling in the recess of my heart is showing me how vulnerable strength and enthusiasm can produce gentle power, compassion, grace and humility through diligent determination and ongoing practise yeilds much more of what it sows in ways that only Life knows, and can
