The Divine Edge of Opportunity

  • The Divine Edge of Opportunity

    I have been very enlightened by reading Sandi Patty’s new book called, The Edge of the Divine. It has caused me to think differently about the opportunities God sovereignly designs for us. He gives us the choice to step over an edge into something He has planned to work for our good. Romans 8:28. The good results honor Him. Revive has now stepped over the edge in accepting the responsibility to carry on ShareFest in Oklahoma City. This is a city wide, one-day event that provides an opportunity for hundreds of volunteers to work together to do good in our community by answering the various cries for help. The date for this one day project will be Saturday, April 16, 2011.

    In the meantime, we are asking you to pray for the Revive Board in this time of transition. There are many decisions to be made and many more edges to step over. Please pray for these 11 women to have the mind of Christ at every meeting; to work with joy and energy of the Holy Spirit, and to experience a great support team of people who will pray regularly. Let us also pray that many more church volunteers will be excited and willing to step over the edge and work when that time is opened for them. This will result in transforming our city with the love of God and hard working hands
    Genesis 16 tells the story of Sarai, Abram’s wife, who had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. When Sarai became impatient with waiting to conceive her promised child, she chose to take things into her own hands and give her servant to Abram as his secondary wife. There was an obvious lack of prayer. Hagar became pregnant and looked down on Sarai, despising her. She sent Hagar away, but not away from God. Hagar felt scared, lonely, distraught and abandoned. But The Angel of the Lord found her and told her to return to her mistress and then told her about the baby she would have. Hagar called Him, “The Living One Who Sees me.” Gen. 16:14 Amplified Bible.

    Dear Friends, The Living One Who Sees is the same today. Aren’t we thankful!!! He is our God who has promised to meet our needs. Phil. 4:19. He sees the Revive Board and their needs. He sees every situation in our City and hears the cries of those who feel scared, lonely, distraught and abandoned and who need help. He is preparing our hearts to be the answer to these dear people who need us. We are on the edge of a divine opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many people in Oklahoma City. God’s timing is perfect. This is a time for us to pray and to prepare our hearts and hands to be ready to share our energy, time and resources with those God guides us to. Let us be prayerfully excited about a new and divine opportunity to respond to the Living One Who Sees. He is creating edges for each of us to cross to serve others and honor Him.

    On the edge with you,

Love Always Finds A Way To Give

This is the principle my mother taught me during the last year of her life. When her grandchildren were born, the love of God within my mother manifested by giving gifts to them when they visited her. She kept donuts, small candies and 50 cent pieces available to give to her little ones. Her health began failing and she had to retire in a nursing center. She had no place to store gifts, so the love within her found a way to give. She saved her apples that came on her food tray and placed them in a basket. She truly experienced delight in giving them to loved ones who dropped by to see her. After she went to heaven, one of my grandchildren who had received one of her apples noticed the home she had lived in and said, “That’s where Mema gave me an apple.” Such a small gift to a small child made a great impact!

It is “back to school” time now and the children are excited about receiving their new supplies. I was watching this excitement while shopping at Wal-Mart. Little children and their parents were having fun picking and choosing what they needed. The thought came to my mind about the poor children in OKC not having this kind of fun purchasing their own personal supplies. I am so very thankful that many of the seven ministries Revive supports on our website have school supplies for these very needy children. Love has found a way to give to them!

We hope the love of God within you will manifest by calling one of these seven ministries and offer to help them by either a donation or volunteering your time. So many little children need to see love demonstrated through each of us. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:13 that love is the greatest of all gifts! Love that gives blesses others as well as the giver feeling delight.

May God give you great delight as your heart manifests His love. It is true,

‘LOVE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO GIVE.”
