It’s hard to believe we are over half way done with month two of the Race. Thailand was a land of immense beauty, Jesus filled each flower, mountain sunset, and road we drove down. God has been so faithful in revealing more of Himself. I am growing in areas such as prophetic art, visions, intercession, encouragement, and walking in the fearless footsteps He has for me. Its crazy how He crafts us; to possess love, but at the same time fearlessness, to possess grace and further fight for justice. His craftsmanship says much about His personality and His loves. He has also revealed Himself much in the countries and places we are visiting. Seeing God is the world is one of my all time favorite things. We serve a majestic Heavenly Father, one who loves to reveal Himself through every fiber of this earth. So while here in Cambodia, Jesus is speaking.
What is He speaking you may ask?
He is saying look closely and don’t pass a single person without looking in their eyes and smiling. Especially the children, don’t pass the children without looking them in the eyes and smiling. This is a ministry. This is your ministry. You don’t know the power of a smile like I do He says. What it spurs, what it moves, and how it causes new space in hearts to be created. So often people pass those who are hurting without even as much as a glance. But like in Luke 10, be the Good Samaritan and stop. Stop and show mercy through the greatest language I have given: LOVE. Stop and be present. Stop and look closely. Stop and see how even the little ones reflect me and those who are far from me are never further than the air around you. Stop and keep it simple. Stop and see how I love the little details of life.
When I heard this, my heart was speechless. It made so much sense, to stop and smile. The children we pass every day run out of their cardboard houses to greet you with a smile, to blow kisses, to give high fives, to see what God is telling them to see. They reach out on the backs of motorcycles to give you a high five at what is the closest thing to a red light…a 2 second pause. They see you blow a kiss and blow 10 back. They run and hug you without reservation, without fear. They love so well. They see the little beauties of gems hidden in the days.
God says, I have given you eyes to see all of this too. Don’t overcomplicate my gospel. Love and love fearlessly. Love and learn to stop for those the rest of the world forgets. See and ask for clear vision, supernatural vision. He says, “It’s it beautiful how I have crafted the world, to interact and share me in anything and everything. I am playing heavenly music to orchestrate these moments 24/7. I am capturing so many beautiful moments for the walls of my house in heaven. My throne-room holds beautiful moments of my children being me to a world that simply needs reminding of the love that awaits them. Moments are available daily. So if you miss one, know I have millions more. Love is so multifaceted. It is soft, strong, powerful,peaceful, and most importantly its tangible.
This is my mission. To be a force of fearless love that sees beyond what is earthly and into what is awaiting a heavenly touch. To remember that the children of Cambodia taught me a valuable lesson about what love looks like. I can’t wait to look through God’s camera and see all of the beautiful moments He thought were the sweetest. The moments that make His heart flutter, His heart speechless. Being a vessel of love is the greatest calling we can be given; let’s not overcomplicate it. Let’s run with love as the air we breathe and the air we leave behind us.
