Investment

The other day I was only the treadmill, praying for something to say of an encouraging nature to Amanda for our party.

I was rushed and didn't really have the time to sit and think about it for long enough, but I thought, "what do I need to hear after the winter we've just had?"
And fortunately,  the Lord spoke to me.

He said, that the investment that I have been making and those around me have been making are not wasted. No matter what happens to this place, no matter what happens to the people around me, if I am giving my whole heart and investing where God has told me too, I will get a return of live from that investment and it won't be years wasted.

And then David Brooks was on opening this morning and he talked about investment. And how what we think our part of the body is, is not necessarily the place where God wants us to invest. How we need to be open to invest where God is showing us, and there will be a return, even if it is not obvious or when we are looking for it.

It's so encouraging when the Lord confirms what He spoke to me personally through other people. It makes me feel that I am not just floating and missing my opportunities to find God.
