Dear Dear Zoe.....
Good morning to you, and my sincere sympathy to you as well.
I am sorry for your loss and your family's loss. I did not realize how fast it can affect someone as I think of two people I have known with it ( I think it was ms) and they had seemed to be pretty okay and then a couple months later I had heard they passed away.
I understand my sister Shelby's concern with asking for this gift.
I also do not have this gift for the same reasons. There are occasions I have wanted to possess it ( I thought) and I prayed hard for it, but my Lord showed me that I was not as willing as I thought I was.
There would be a very, very, slight, tiny hesitation and then I realized I did not possess the kind of Love it would take to carry this gift.
I in my heart wanted to pick and choose when I used this gift. And that is not for me to decide!
Ooh my ooh my!
I realize that my Lord does not condemn me for this, but it reminds me constantly why I NEED HIM!
To daily cover my sins where I fail in my love ...being able to have LOVE to the extent of giving of oneself on behalf of another. And not " just" for those I love.
Enjoy your day as much as possible
Love to you and your family
Justmom
