| I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a wonderful feeling, I'm happy again |
As I walked I began speaking to the Lord and asked, what does this mean Lord. I have shared before that the Lord has been speaking to me through nature through this journey and I knew my being intrigued was more than a mere coincidence. It has rained several times over the past month but this was the first time I was curious about a greater meaning. The Lord answered my question by letting me know that the raindrops represented the frequency of his blessings in my life.
As I continued to walk I noticed several puddles. They were everywhere I stepped. My shoes, pants and bag got soaked before getting to my car. I again asked the Lord what did all this water mean. The Lord then let me know that I was experiencing the water as overflow because that is how much he loves us. I was stopped in my tracks. I was no longer bothered by the puddles but began to actually enjoy walking in the rain and through my blessings. I then thought okay Lord, I know you love me and I know you love me unconditionally, what are you telling me? It was then that the Lord revealed just as I was experiencing the water as overflow of his love for me, he wanted Bryan to experience my love as overflow in the same manner. All I could say was Wow! The water took on a new life for me and I became a kid in a playground full of puddles. I wondered how many people actually thought I was a little off as I actually played and danced in a few of the puddles along the way. My shoes getting wet no longer mattered.
Today I am honoring my husband with overflow. I wondered so what can I do today to begin to represent my overflow of love for him and there before me was my answer. I walked passed the French bakery that I know he loves and purchased his favorite dessert. It was a small gesture but one that will mean a lot to him. He loves, loves, loves their eclairs. Having the Lord speak to me so clearly about his intentions was awesome and I truly believe that his intentions are being realized with this journey. I know that my husband knows that I love him, however I do not know if he experiences my love to the degree I experience the love of Christ. Today I became even more clearer about how important respect, submission, unconditional love and being of service to my mate really means.
Wives of the world in what ways can you honor your husband's with overflow? How can you help him experience your love like you experience the unconditional, overflowing love of Christ? I sit in amazement at how the Lord continues to teach me more and more about how to truly honor my husband. I know buying my husband a surprise dessert is only the tip of the iceberg and I also know it's the little things that often make the greatest difference. How can you honor your husband with overflow today? Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
