Picture a brand new blue bicycle secretly stored in an
attic. Imagine the father suggesting his son ask for a new blue bicycle for his
birthday. The gift is already given, waiting to be received…described perfectly
by the giver so the receiver is prepared to accept it.
My daughter’s dream car was a secret. She told me only that it
was a Honda. So, I began my search for the perfect car for Libby.
One morning, while walking through the parking deck at work,
I noticed a co-worker getting out of a pretty, white, sports car. As we walked
together to our offices I asked about her car. I had never seen one like it
before. She had special-ordered it two years before but unfortunately would
have to sell it. Expecting her first child, she needed a family car.
I wondered if Libby would like it. I took the information
about the car, then asked Libby to print out information from the internet on her
dream car.
Early the next morning, during my devotions, I prayerfully
brought out the notes on my co-worker’s car and the sheet Libby had given me.
Amazing! They were the same car, even down to the color – white! A like-new car
at an affordable price! An answer to prayer for me and a dream come true for my
daughter! It was my turn to be a channel of God’s blessings, an instrument to
give God’s child a jewel from His hand through me. He put those desires in Libby’s
heart so He could fill them perfectly.
Everything belongs to Him. Our heavenly Father prepares us
for the blessings He already has in store for us - heaven, relationships, jobs,
and yes, even automobiles.
I will continue to make myself available to be a clear,
clean channel of blessings for His glory. I hope you will, too!
