Light at the Garden Gate by Dee Kamp
There
is Always Room for One More
What a surprise God had for me today! I was sorting
through old folders and found a typed sheet of paper with a prophetic word
spoken to me several years ago, and now with great delight I discover it all to
be true today.
It was all
about following God freely into new discoveries and new places. Even some new
ways that I might consider at times way out
of my comfort zone.
And the wise
words of this saint said to me, “God doesn’t care about our comfort zone-get
over that. He is our comfort zone! He delights in you, delight in Him!”
“He brought me out into a spacious place;
he
rescued me because he delights din me.”
Psalm 18:19
NIV
He knows exactly what delights our hearts, He knows
how to reach our thinking, searching our hearts to inspire and encourage us in
ways we could never imagine, or ever imagine doing without Him.
So I prayed to the Lord this morning and said, “How
many new ways, new ideas, new places and challenges can there be room for in my
life Lord?”
I smiled then, for in that same instant an image
came into my mind of a clothes closet. A hanger with a new dress is being hung
amid all the other clothes. Well I muse, there is always room for one more piece
of clothing― every woman knows that!
And in this I
understand and acknowledge there is always room in our hearts for one more of
God’s great new plans for us, to heal our broken hearts, to give us peace and strength.
He will be the light in our valley and help us to climb to new heights of
faith, fellowship and inspiration when we draw into a deeper relationship with
Him.
We belong to Him and He belongs to us. We shouldn’t
expect to be surprised by what God can pull off, pull together, arrange,
rearrange and bless us in ways we never imagined.
Changing our clothes, changing our face, changes
nothing. But facing change with faith in God can change everything.
Even when we think the closet of our heart is too
full of stuff, there is always room for more. God finds a delightful way of
bringing something new to slip right into our lives to inspire and encourage us
every step of the way. With God, there is always room for something new to
discover about Him.
