THE TWELVETH HOUR

WORD OF WISDOM
DESIRE ~ (Haggai 2:7), usually interpreted as a title of the Messiah. The Revised Version, however, more correctly renders "the desirable things of all nations;" i.e., the choicest treasures of the Gentiles shall be consecrated to the Lord.

For months we had planned our meeting. LJG had been packed her bags. I am the one who has everything in the closet ready to pack at the last moment. It got down to the last week, we believed and keep talking of all we would do. Then as the hours shortened, and finally got to the twelfth hour, we both knew it was not going to happen.

I have to admit that the entire final day I was bubbling over with joy. Even to the point I did not want to make the phone call saying no I cannot go. I could not contain my joy, and did not want to hurt LJG’s feelings.

After the phone call I asked God to reveal to me why I was unable to go. Today I received my answer. But let me go back just a bit. Understand the week before the final day God had blessed me going out and coming in, even to a stranger blessing me with a scripture box. Why I wondered would He bless me so, but not give us the desires of our hearts to see each other after all these years. Then His answer came.

While there LJG got a chance to bond very closely with the ladies from her church. If I had been there this would not have happened. We would have been so into each other that we would have not received as we could. This trip was for God to reveal to LJG that she is a blessing to so many. It was her time, not ours.

Yes God will give us the desires of our heart, and LJG and I will get to have our reunion soon. God though knew that she needed this more then she needed to see me. His ways are not our ways. He gave me such joy that I could not contain, because He knew that something better was in store than either of us had planned.

For the next few days she will share with you. You will hear from here her the joy that God blessed her with. The things that she learned, and how she has grown.

And I, well God has showed me that with Him all things are possible, in His time. But no matter what I have His joy with me always.

God Bless,
rECj/LJG
