This past week was my training camp. It was wildly intense and amazing as miracles from God occurred and the love of God was poured out. I could tell you about all of these amazing this that happened, but that’s not what this blog is about. This blog is about how God revealed His secret plan for my life to me. He opened my heart.
Tuesday night we were all in the pavilion singing praises to God and declaring truth over the nations and ourselves. At one point the speaker Ron Walborn stood up and said that he was receiving from the Lord that many in the room that night had never felt the love of God pour down on them. He invited us to ask the Lord to pour His love onto us so that we can see who we really truly are….and so the surgery began.
Near the back I closed my eyes and began to ask God to reveal His heart to me. I felt as if I was in a room with only Him as my audience. Jesus was standing in front of my with a smile on His face. While my arms were reaching out to Him he grabbed my hands and held them as a Father holds his child’s hand to lead the way. He whispered in my ear and said, “I have something to show you…”
He showed me a picture of my father, Tim Stinnett. He began to reveal to me how great of a dad I really have. The Lord began to speak into my heart and showed me that my dad has always been there for me even in the hardest of times. He showed me that God put not just any man, but Tim Stinnett into my life for a reason. My dad was chosen for me so that I could grow up and become the man of God that Christ has called me to be.
I began to realize that out of the many conversations I have had with many squad mates, I am one of the few who have had a dad who was always there…who cares. It was at this time when everything within me fell apart. The Lord poured His love on me by revealing Truth to me. He ripped my heart out of my chest so that He could put a new piece into it….Truth of a loving father.
