I think that pictures are great!
Hold on a minute, I think that I need to properly validate that statement.
I think that pictures (when given from God) are great!
That little bit in the middle makes a huge difference, to the statement.
When I get a picture, I see a small portion of the picture. I speak out (a form of painting 🙂 ) the picture that I see in my head. My Heavenly Father sees the bigger picture, and at His direction, my small picture can then be magnified by what He does with it.
I’ll try to explain what is going on in my head a bit better.
I do my small part, sometimes having some idea of where I’m going and sometimes just trusting. Father then comes along and does so much more that I just didn’t see with what I have just done.
I’m then just left with the thought of, WOW, You are just so GOOD Lord!
It can be like I paint a small picture, and then others see all the bits that I didn’t paint. Father comes along and makes the picture so much bigger!
In my mind I have an ink blott picture, but others see a masterpiece. (Sometimes, that is. 🙂 )
Now inkblot pictures can be very funny things.
To one person they can be nothing, to another rage and to another pure love. The difference is interpretation.
Now if Our Heavenly Father is involved with the interpretation, then the same inkblot picture can be whatever it needs to be at any particular time to the person who needs it.
For my inkblot picture to bless somebody else, I don’t need to have the interpretation! I just need to offer up my inkblot picture. (Even if I think, this is just a mess. 🙂 )
Did you know that? You can bless someone without even knowing quite what it is that you are doing.
My wife does this as a matter of routine now.
She used to say to me, so and so has just come to my mind, what does that mean? My off the cuff response was, “Well just pray for them then.”
She did. But now she does this almost automatically. I have even joined her in praying for …… at times.
In short my wife’s inkblot picture can be, ……. has come to my mind, I’ll pray them.
The real question is, When God gives you an inkblot picture to share, will you then share it?
Will you share it even if you don’t understand it?
Will you share it, even if you think that it’s going to make you look a bit silly?
Will you share it and allow God to bless someone else through what you share in Him?
Instead of hiding it away, will you allow your inkblot picture to be a fragrant offering that is acceptable, to your Loving Heavenly Father?
