What an incredible Promise! This is no teaser. Read it. And then receive it.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
There are no maybes in there. Beautiful. I think this relationship is going to be great because I dont want any maybes about Gods love for me and He definitely doesnt want any maybes from me.
Okay, so how can I share that with the Spanish speaking Ninos? Te amo? Nice to hear but maybe they hear it too much and dont actually receive it. How can I actually share and show love without words, only actions, and start to show them ultimately my love comes from God? That they are so loved by a Father, the Father, our Father! Well two Ninos [kids] showed me how my small actions could bring them such joy.
Armando and Marcel, hermanos [ siblings ] , warmed up to us slowly the first day. They kept their distance from just outside their house and then made there way to the street corner where they watched us play futbol with some older boys. Then they crept behind us. Just giggled and laughed and kept working closer and closer to us. Then as I turned to them to ask names, Armando reached out to take my aviators. I just watched as he put them on. He waited to see what id do. Kids fascinate me. So i kept watching. 🙂 Thus began a friendship. He loved them and flipped up some rocknroll signs. From then on he and his sister had no worries about us. I had given something so little (well i took them back eventually ) so freely and happily. I couldve said no or maybe and given the impression they were not worthy or not important or good enough for my things, but instead i chose "Yes". They were so much fun and even came looking the next day and discovered my big awesome Nikond40 camera. So with my guidance i let them use it. They may never see or touch a camera like that ever again. And it brougt them so much laughter. Their laughter and joy is far more important to me than anything i brought on this trip.
So with so little words they asked and received. They received my love, trust, care through things and my hugs too :-). If nothing else I hope ive planted a seed and helped open doors for them. Give much of yourself, dont hold back any love any great thing that you have when you could have an opportunity to testify of Gods greater Gifts!
