I want to share the deep things in my life that stir my heart and revelations from Jesus that I think others may gain from. And maybe some vacuous things too...

So much happened between me and my Heavenly Papa during this journey of asking God 40 questions in 40 days. When He first started answering my queries, it was extremely poetic (Day 2 - http://lifeshouldbefragrant.blogspot.ca/2013/03/tell-mewhat-you-are-like.html). As the discipline of questioning wound to a close, He resumed speaking to me in beautiful metaphors that were both achingly lovely and extremely personal to me. Day 38 - What is the Kingdom of God like?
The river trail. Water flowing abundantly, but you can slip and slide and flow freely. It is hedged by greenery, by lushness, by richness. You can float by, you can skate, you can walk, you can swim. It's your choice. Trails take you to secret places. Others take you to public places. It's your choice. As far as East is from the West, as far as the North is from the South, I flow. My Kingdom flows. It stretches to expanses. It is a meeting place at The Forks full of people of all tribes and tongues. It's your choice to step in. It's at the bottom of your street. There's always water at the bottom of My Kingdom. Rivers of life. Rivers of living water.
I was absolutely staggered by the Lord's answer to this question. Even as I wrote this, I wept some more remembering the impact it had on me. This marked one of those days when I truly started to grasp that the Lord really did know me and delighted in me for who I am, who He made me to be.
Day 10 - What gift can I offer You today? Is there some symbolic object I might lay at your feet or some favour You would appreciate from me? How can I say thanks for the blessings You've poured out on me? Is there some way I can bless You in return? God said:
Your tears. They honour me. Say yes. Don't fight them. They represent the river of living water flowing freely. They are a river of love. Remember a time you couldn't cry at all?
As far as East is from the West, as far as the North is from the South, I flow. My Kingdom flows. It stretches to expanses. It is a meeting place at The Forks full of people of all tribes and tongues. It's your choice to step in.
