Earlier this month I had an extremely intimate moment with God, so good and filled with love.
During debrief, I had many people speak over me and share with me how God views me. Not that I didn’t know these things already, but that these are areas in my life that I didn’t 100% believe He does what He says. A little glimpse into my past, I struggled so much with knowing what true love is and feeling wanted. So, God is always reminding me of how much He loves me and how He sees me.
This night was crystal clear and as I layer down to sleep, I looked at the night sky and immediately felt God calling me to spend some time with Him. I got up, stepped out onto the balcony, put in my earbuds, cranked up the worship music, and just starred. I stood there looking up at the sky and saw each star twinkling for the first time. I could feel His presence surrounding me and nothing in the world could disturb what He made to happen. As I sunk deeper into worshipping my Father, it seemed as though each star was dancing to the music and it sung of His glory. It was like the sky was His getting closer to me and I could just reach up and touch it. I breathed in and said “God, if you’re listening right now, if you’re here and you see me, I want you to give me a shooting star. As your beloved, give me a shooting star.” I know this sounds so cliche, but something in my soul needed to know that He was there standing right next to me. Again, I continued being consumed by His presence and marveled at His creation, the very stars He breathed out. I did this for about 15 minutes until the last song came on. I took a deep breath again and said “Papa, this is the last song I will listen to and then I’m going to bed. You know the desires of my heart, I would really love to see a shooting star tonight. No big deal if I don’t see one, but I would love to.” This last song continued to play and something in the atmosphere changed, it was like my whole view shifted completely to God and not on a shooting star. At the last moment of the song, I said “All I want to do is to praise and worship you because you are my belo-” and there it was!!! God literally cut me off and gave me a shooting star! I didn’t even get to finish saying “beloved” before my mouth dropped in awe and everything hit me so hard. I started crying in joy and ended up listening to another song to praise God for a prayer answered instantly.
Now let me tell you why this was so important for me:
1. God gave me a shooting star
2. Instant miracle
3. He reminded once again how much he sees deeply into my heart and loves all of me
4. Understanding that stars are light years away
5. He knew I was going to ask for a shooting star and prepared everything WAAAAYY in advance just for me
This was such an insane moment and when this happened, I could feel Him standing there with me. He was probably laughing at my jaw dropped face, I would be too. It was just a clear message of “I love you.”
