WOW! GOD YOU ARE SO GOOD!
You came to me right now and pointed to this scripture and gave it directly to me. Through a friend who posted a note on this scripture verse in the Bible App, you illuminated a new level of meaning to me.
As we go out and love others, and share our lives with others, God will illuminate in them areas of their lives He needs them to change and face. They come smack dab into an experience with God and He boldly speaks to them. They become uncomfortable and we suffer injustices from their pride, selfishness, & toxic traits. As they attempt to run from God’s correction, they retaliate towards us, who are innocent. Because they don’t understand what is happening. They just don’t like what they feel/see or are experiencing. They recognize we are not the issue. They even say, “it’s not your fault”. But they run, or fight it. To later regret it. And once they pull away, or we remove ourselves, they stop fighting and God can give them revelation and they receive the change. This awakens them. Sometimes God will bring them other encounters or people to be a mirror of themselves so they can fully see and they soon see what God is trying to tell them and they awaken. The blinders remove.
If you are called to awaken the mighty men – take comfort in this scripture. You have suffered grave injustices. You have loved deeply to be in turn taken advantage of, or abandoned. You have given without a expected return, but drug through the ringer. You have gone above and beyond, but treated like you were fake. You depleted yourself over and over again to the point of absolute and utter exhaustion, to be treated like you did not care or give enough.
You are awake and see their potential. God has given you that gift, but they see you as judgmental instead of supportive. They see your help as a threat. You did not mean that at all. You are usually completely misunderstood.
Yet; days, weeks and often times, YEARS later, God loops them back into your life and they tell you, “You were right”, “You tried to tell me/help me/be there for me”, “You were the only one who truly cared the rest were actually faking.”, “I didn’t appreciate you. I am so sorry”. This list could be endless.
Warriors! Keep awakening God’s men. The anointing requires no labor on your part other than showing up. Showing up is all it takes. This is why people sometimes feel uncomfortable around you, while the next time, people can’t seem to get enough. Strangers tell you their lives story in the middle of WalMart. People either run from you, or run toward you.
You will hear from some of those who actively walk with God and willing to work on themselves, “You are a breath of fresh air!”, “You breathed on my dry bones”, “You encourage, motivate or inspire me”
Mightywarriors who awaken the mighty men – YOU ARE TIRED. YOU ARE SO STINKING tired some times. You’re heart is broken. Or was broken. Or will be broken again.
But keep going. KEEEP GOING!
You’re doing more for the kingdom of God than you could ever imagine. Keep loving. Keep making friends. Keep LOVING!
You are awakening people so God can reach them. It is draining. It is hard. It hurts. BUT GOD IS REWARDING YOU!
And may this note encourage you to know that those heart aches. Those deep distress moments. Those injustices that crush you and you feel like you can’t continue, it is not for nothing. God is able to move in their lives now, because you showed up! And loved. And let Him shine His light through you, to awaken them.
You rock!!! Keep going. The world is awakening.
