Bless me indeed - Mercy Me

This song is what I prayed when I interviewed for Disney World.  “Oh that You would bless me and enlarge my territory!” (1 Chronicles 4:10).  What larger territory could He have given me than that? People come from all over the world. He really opened wide my horizons to share His name.

If you live in Florida, I’m sure you experienced Storm Debby. It brought so much darkness and gloom, plus a lot of needed rain. I have to say, it really affected my mood. I couldn’t believe it myself, that I would allow the weather to get to me in that way, and I really started to feel guilty about complaining. Especially when I watched the news and heard of all the horrible damage it has done, including a death of a mother laying on top of her baby to protect her little one as the tornado went through. The baby did survive. That’s when I said, “enough Kim, look how blessed you are. The sun will shine again.”

I tried to stay in my up mood that I usually am, but it was hard. People I work with even said to me, “You’re not your smiley self.” I have to say I didn’t even like me.  I really wanted the sun to shine, and the “Son” in me. Well on the third day, it did. It started to poke through. Then on Wednesday it really shined, and so did I.  

I couldn’t help but grin a smile when everyone at work was talking about how much better they feel when the sun is shining. Some asked me why I had that smile. I told them, “Well you know, the 'Son' is always shining, because He’s always with us. Sometimes we just aren’t doing a good job at showing it.” Then I said, “Did you all realize it took 3 whole days for us to see the Son again?" 

Most of them who understood where I was coming from, laughed. Some others asked me what I meant by that, and I got to share with them.  I said, “Well the 'third day' has a lot more meaning than just the sun coming out after all this rain. Jesus, (the Son) rose from the dead on the third day.” (1 Corinthians 15: 4).  With Jesus in our hearts, the Son is shining all the time. Yes we will have our cloudy, gloomy days, but with Him we can face them.

He’s the Only One never having a beginning. He’s the Only un-created One. He’s the light that was before the sun. He’s the Only One who is forever the same. He is, He was, and He will always be Lord of all!!!!!  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.” (John 1: 1-4).  And He’s ours! So let the “Son” shine inside you, and through you, even on the cloudy days.

“The Lord bless and keep you, and his face shine upon you, and be gracious, and give you peace.”
