I’m learning more and more that not everyone is going to be as enthused as I am when God speaks to me. I have had some opportunities to share what I feel is great revelation and the receiving end is a road block. I'll never forget one day sitting at my desk at work about to indulge in some Ramon noodles (yeah I'm a big spender), when I read on the side of the container "Caution Contents May Be Hot". God spoke to me and said that everyone has a so called "spiritual temperature" and whether we like it or not, if the mercury is not on the right side of the bubble, then you better wait to proclaim your brilliant news. Your good news and someone else's bad day is not the best spiritual recipe.
You may learn a couple of things here as I have: (1) you will find out who is really interested in your spiritual growth. Those that take the time to see how excited you are and are willing to vest even a little time into the conversation make for great friends and (2) this awe inspiring news may just be for you and only you {God doesn't always speak to me to reveal it to us}- try flying solo sometimes..... It worked for the Wright Brothers!
I must admit my eagerness to open my heart sometimes out weighs my ability to not take offense to the infamous silent response. But one thing is for sure here, God said it and I get it. That’s what really matters! Asking God for whom and when to share it is another prayer......
Blessings,
Allen
