Reflections 6/18/2020: I woke up again this morning with such a wellspring of joy pouring out of my soul that I feared it might wet the bed! Thankfulness for ALL the ways You bless me, God! Then I began to wonder if I make all this joy and thankfulness up in my own mind… since You are so invisible in the process. Like a secret admirer who sends love notes but never fully reveals himself! I find Your divine fingerprints all over the place, BUT what if even THOSE are just figments of my own imagination? Hmmm… so many of the blessings, even miracles, come through the flesh and blood of the caring people in my life. Are they the source? Or are they just Your middle men (and women) of delivery? As I was joining Paul in his II Cor. 7 musings he kind of answered my question. “But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus; and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.” God, You pouring out Your comfort through human beings! Perhaps we are “made in Your image” for that very purpose! I do love to keep track of the “express deliveries” of Your blessings though… the ones that bypass human interactions! They give me traction for faith when these weird doubts creep into my brain as to the reality of YOU being the SOURCE of my joy!
