One drop!

I continue to pray with the prophecy from yesterday.

God is doing something new...in all times and places.

The process is dynamic and continuous...and I am aware of my total dependency upon God for the new life which is lasting.

I will be moved by God to all regions of my being. That movement is one that I can't dictate or choreograph. That movement is one that is initiated by God's Wisdom and Love...in appropriate measures which may sometime be, literally a FLOOD of new growth...and at others, a tiny drop of renewal.

I can envision the landscape of my life as one that vacillates between lush, productive regions and arid desert. I delight for a while in activities and relationships that abound with extravagant love, peace, gentleness.

Then somehow I notice that I am in a state of emptiness. Thoughts and feelings begin to flatten...confidence begins to dissolve...hope is diminished to a tiny flutter deep within.

Sometimes when the desert seems wide I may become fixated upon the desolation. I may try to find out MORE about the desert region...that is, the problem or the confusion I have encountered. I may begin to try to find my own way back to(or toward) relief, resolution,or reconciliation. "If I can just figure this situation out, I will be ok."

But the more I try to think my way out of the desert the more I am immobilized. I don't have the ability to create the new fresh life for which my heart yearns.

Then, oh happy moment.... I am reminded by God to accept and embrace the promise that the smallest flutter of hope, faith and trust only needs one drop of God's grace to be transformed into a lavish outpouring of NEW possibilities and fresh perspectives.

One drop...the smallest droplet of dew...that's all we need!
