The "JESUS NAME" Project

I stood in front of my kitchen window this morning, before any of the kids were up, looking outside. Day break made visible, in the early morning light, that snowflakes were falling. I stood there marveling at how slowly they floated in the air, so perfect and peaceful. Some where falling straight down while others seemed to zigzag there way down and softly made their landing on the white powdered ground. Over the winter there can be a lot of it, being that it is almost the end of February. I don’t know why, this particular morning I just noticed something different about it. Watching and standing mesmerized while I waited for the water to boil in the electric kettle for my morning cup of tea. Then the Lord spoke to me, He said “look at how small each snowflake is, each one is different, only if you look closely enough will you notice, otherwise they all appear to be the same.” I know this Lord, this is something we learned as children, how each snowflake is unique and not one of them is the same. Then in the quietness of the morning, He said something else to me, this really made me think, “just like the snowflake it is so small, and each one by itself really appears to be of no importance. If you were to hold out your hand it would melt and disappear.” Yes Lord you are right, each one by itself is so tiny, hardly noticeable. Continuing he said, “Just imagine if your problems that you face daily, fell like the snowflakes you see floating down from the morning sky. If for an instant you could visibly see them, one by one. With you praying and giving them to me, they don’t seem so bad. But if you leave Me out and stop praying, give it time and you have a snow drift that is packed so hard that there is no way to get through it. All awhile each snowflake by itself is harmless.” Ohh my Lord, You are so right, Again He said “you get busy, at times so busy that you forget, I am here and always will be here for you. I love you, I want to be involved in every part of your life.” What a reality check! Lord you Love me enough to show me how much you love me, by using snowflakes!  He does love us, more than we could ever imagine. No matter what condition our lives are in there is always room for Jesus. And don’t think that you have to get your lives in order before you can face him, just like some people who want to join a gym but feel they have to get in shape before they enter in. He wants to take the snowflakes and keep them as snowflakes, soft light and beautiful. If we put them in the Masters hand, don’t be surprised if some of the problems just melt away. Don’t ever underestimate how the power of prayer works. I walked away from my kitchen window with my cup of tea, hot and freshly made, with just a dab of honey and a splash of cream. Sat down in front of my computer and decided to share my Jesus Moment with you. Have a Blessed day!
