Felt like sharing a little story. While driving home from Price Chopper 30 minutes ago, I saw a nice blonde lady walking from her car into CVS. Without warning, a voice inside of me said, hey, go buy her groceries. I questioned for a second if it was the Lords idea or just my head, but I turned around anyways and parked in the CVS parking lot. When I walked in, there she was, holding a box of cold and flu pills. I walked up to her and, without thinking much, said simply, So... I saw you in the parking lot, and felt as though the Lord told me to buy your groceries. She looked down at her feet and replied, No, no. You dont have to do that. But, I really would like to. I said. She shook her head and said no a second, and then a third time when I offered once more. Finally, I left her, after saying Jesus loves you so much and giving her the best smile I had. Walking to my car, for some reason I fought back tears. I thought maybe I was just being a baby because I felt rejected or something. But then I heard His voice again inside. It really stinks when people dont accept your gifts, huh. He said, His voice was quiet, and filled with understanding. I wanted to bless her so much. I was so excited. I said, a tear falling. Me too. The Lord said. Suddenly a picture of Him popped in my head, he sat on His throne with tears in His eyes as he looked down on me and that lady. This is why I dont draw near to the proud. He said, Because they never let me. Tears streamed down His face. They feel like they have to take care of themselves, and then they never let me love them. Immediately I wept in my car, convicted. How many times have I rejected the gifts of a loving Father? To reject His care is not humility, but pride, and it grieves Him. Oh, Lord help us.
