The other night during our devotions God had given Taylor a vision for me. It was a little girl in a white dress standing in a field of flowers holding a basket. She would pick a flower, smell it and then place it in her basket. He wasn’t sure what it was supposed to mean, neither did it, so we asked the rest of the group if they had an idea.
Gretch said the white dress represents Easter which means new life. AJ reminded me that I was baptized this past Easter I recommitted myself to Christ and made the choice for myself finally to die to myself and follow Him. Tiff said that with each flower I was discovering more and more of who God is. That resonated with me the most. Taylor and I were just talking about how I am still figuring everything out, prophesy, my relationship with God, who He is as my Father, etc.
The situation in itself shed a lot of light for me on the visions God gives people. That’s something I didn’t grow up around, so its all new to me and I’m trying discern what is of God and what isn’t, what God uses visions for and whether or not that’s something God wants for me or not. Anyway, it was neat to watch that entire process in relation to my life. Taylor was given a vision, and Tiff’s words (who didn’t know anything going on in my head) was exactly what I have been wanting. I desire to know more about God, His word, to find my identity as His daughter and then to apply it to my life and my lifestyle.
Then the next day, I spent some time being still and silent before the Lord. He gave me a vision of a blank canvas. He told me that the blank canvas was my life. He said it is completely clean now, and it is up to you to paint what you want on it, anything at all. So you can paint your old life back onto the canvas if that’s what I choose, or I can choose a new life, a new painting.
God gives us visions for ourselves and for each other to edify one another (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). I’ve definitely learned that in these two instances. I feel even more desire to pursue Him, know Him and truly LOVE Him. That’s something else that I’m trying to figure out, what does it mean to Love God? I’ve finally figured out what it means to have a relationship with Him, now I’m trying to grasp what it looks like to fall deeply in love with our one true God.
I need that agape love.
