tell Him

Monday, 1/31/11

One for the unmarried ;)

When it comes to the incredible emotion - the kind that begins with things like random smiles at the mere thought of someone and the kind that over time takes root and grows. That rarity where you literally look to the sky and say, "God, do you...do you even understand the sequence of DNA you put together here?! and, do you understand what they've come to be in you?! ..." (God chuckles at me a lot).

Logically in fondness we share these things with the person along the way. Things like their beauty/(handsome-ness), the smile they put on your face, the laughter they evoke, the pride that grows in you for the other person, and on. All good and ok but on a little bit deeper note, something to consider.

Our expressed feelings for a person are healthy. But never forget the very best thing you can do? is tell Him. Not him, not her....rather, tell Him. True friendship is rooted here. All of the vocal encouragement and sweet nothings in the world do nothing if they are not passing through the Father. Tell Him of His amazing creation. Thank Him for their life, and the gift to your life. Tell Him how you feel but remain unselfish. Pray for their life. Pray for them honestly and boldly in your secret place. A secret place that does not come to light to boast in itself as a hypocrite would do.

If you care, tell Him.
