Today's "God Calling," my daily reader of fifty years, has a pearl that I marvel at almost yearly when I read it again.
Titled Claim Big Things, it has The Word...Claim big, really big things now. Remember nothing is too big. In my early years those words gave me permission to ask God for my real heart's desire: Diamonds and dollars...with an emerald ring thrown in.
I do not recall how many years it took before I connected with the rest of the reading; namely, Such wonderful things are coming to you, Joy -- Peace -- Assurance -- Security -- Health -- Happiness -- Laughter.
My realization came when I saw that those are all inner things...all big inner things, but inner, not outer, things.
I laugh to admit, that sentence comes before my favorite about nothing being too big to ask for. So it's not like I wasn't given a clue as to what really big things are to the Lord.
Blinding flash: These are all inner gifts which seed is within us at birth...the seed as nurtured grows..the grower is God, the nutrient is still more spiritual growth.
Thank you.
