I do not know why God has put on my heart to speak through analogies. I guess since I was little and I learned about that I have always loved them. So I guess in turn God loves to speak to me through them. So as long as God is talking to me through them I want to continue to share them with you. Our squad leaders came to San Pedro to be with us for a few days and pour into us. One of them named Hailey Crump gave me a prophecy card saying building and four walls will not be enough for you, find a place in nature to be with the father. So yesterday I went on the backside of the soccer field where you can see over the lake and look at the mountains. And what I write in the following paragraph is what God put on my heart.
I where glasses and contacts. Long before I did when I look into nature ,like looking at trees, everything blurred together and looked the same to me. One leaf was not distinguishable from the next. Finally I got my first pair of glasses and looked into the world a whole new way. Everything was not the same. As I was out enjoying nature with the Father he put this on my heart again. I started to look at the leaves of the coffee trees. If you looked at them from a distance they all looked the same. When you took the time to truly look at them you saw that each vein on every leaf was different. The length of each was not the same. They individually were so different but they all collectively made one tree. And because they all claimed a different place on the tree they all received light from the sun a different way. Which means they all grew a different way and had affect on the tree a different way. As I kept walking around I started looking down at the grass. Each blade stood a different way and received from the sun a different way yet together they provided cover for the ground. And brought beauty to the ground in a way just dirt could not. As I continued to look around I my sight begin to center on the mountains. And how streams of water, volcanic eruptions, and the work of man had all contributed to them each begin shaped a different way. Yet they all claimed a piece of the sky and together they brought joy to the eyes alone they could not.
It amazing how God made all of nature for our enjoyment. And as you look at( and I mean really look at it) you can not help but see him in it. And there is so much you can learn. Looking over nature yesterday the father was showing me that we do not all have to be the same. Even when others look on us and think they see carbon copies in is not the truth. We all have a different view on the Son and because of that we each affect the kingdom in a different way. Each with our on gifts to offer. And when you look at us as a whole we all come together to make up the kingdom. The veins in each of is different. The blood runs to our hearts a different way. We each receive love in way unlike the next. Do not let anyone ever tell you need to be like anyone else. Claim the man or woman that God called you to be, because when we each decide to do that oh how beautiful a tree we will be.
