There is the temptation to take all of this literally. At face value.
But could God be doing something?
Why did You cry at the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus? I wish to know and understand that from You, Spirit. I really want to know. I feel like maybe I am missing something. Please help us understand.
I wish You’d raise my people. You can, God. Even those who never made it out of the womb. You could do that even now.
But if it’s going to depend on me, I don’t have it right now.
Did Taqui said that if we had faith then we could raise people from the dead? If that’s true, then I want that, God. If anything, just to show people You are really real.
But then I think that You don’t need me. You could show them Yourself.
Are You asking me to write this? I don’t know exactly where it is going.
But I am hopeful that You’ll provide like You did the last time I sat down to write a book I thought you were asking me to write. You know I need a lot more this time.
I ask for wisdom. Please help me see what all this will be.
Please help me show people Your heart. So that they will want You for themselves.
That was the biggest compliment anyone ever gave me. And I can’t even take credit for it; I’m happy to throw the crowns at the feet of Who the praise really belongs to. But it thrilled my heart when someone told me that they wanted a relationship with God the way I have a relationship with God.
Because yes, I want that for them also! I want that for everyone.
I hope I’ll see my dream come true.
Revival is possible. We are more connected now than ever. But it’s a God-sized task. Way above my pay grade.
I’m just going to write and hope for the best. That somehow someway someday someone will be encouraged.
Then pass it along. And more people will start to open up and experience God for themselves.
Will You do that, God? Will I be able to be a part of that?
