Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here at the Rendezvous blog. Lot’s of great conversations will be started here as each of us POSTS things about our walk with God.
I’ll go first.
As I thought about how God’s showing up in my life, one particular incident kept coming to mind. It’s one of those things that stayed with me, and I’m reminded of it every now and then. Let me explain what took place.
I was meeting a friend for lunch one day. Prior to that day, I had a few episodes with God where I ignored Him. They were tiny things He was asking me to do, but I just didn’t feel like listening, you know?
So I’m pulling up to the restaurant where I was meeting the friend when the song “What Hurts the Most” by Rascal Flatts comes on the radio. I like that group, so I turned up the volume as I found a place to park. Just as I pulled into a space, the chorus began.
Even though Gary LeVox was singing, something happened, and all I heard was the Holy Spirit’s voice coming through the music. Through the words in the chorus, He explained to me how He felt when I ignored Him. I never felt condemnation during the incident. It wasn’t a tongue lashing. He just wanted me to know. Listen to the chorus and hear what the Spirit said to me – it’s about 45 seconds in…
Now, whenever I hear this song, I think about how God has feelings. And I remember that He’s trying to steer me because He loves me. It’s awfully hard to ignore Him anymore.
