Numbers
6:26
The Lord
make His face shine upon you [with favor],
And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness]
And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness]
Hello sweet ladies. Recently I have become aware of some
people close to me encountering a good amount of unkindness from others. This
behavior is hurtful to them; thus causes me much sympathy and desire to take
away such pain. I know many people suffer from insensitivity from people around
them. I have certainly felt my heart sadden from uncaring actions. While
praying for these friends, God gave me a beautiful revelation to help those
hurting from unkindness. I pray that sharing this will bring hope and peace to
anyone distressed from an unkind act.
God is kind. God is loving. God is full of lovingkindness
for you. This lovingkindness is grand! It is magnificent and extravagant! God’s
lovingkindness is excessive. It is expressed most profoundly through the
sacrifice of his one and only son for our salvation.
We may live in a world that does not always demonstrate kindness
and consideration, but that does not make void the ultimate kindness – God’s lovingkindness.
When hurt arrives from human rude behavior you cannot disregard your well
supplied lovingkindness available at all times from God.
Do not abandon the kindness of the Almighty when mere
humans act uncaring. Why? Because looking toward God’s kindness will actually
overshadow the world’s acts of insensitivity and thoughtlessness. Focusing on
the absolute lovingkindness of God will cast a shadow over other unkind deeds.
This shadow that hangs over the deed covers it with insignificance. Keeping our
thoughts on God’s lovingkindness toward us allows earthly hurtful behavior to
become clouded and trivial.
I know what you are thinking. Me too! We question, “Is it
really that simple?” We ask, “Is it easy?” I can’t tell you that God said it is
easy or simple because I did not hear that. I do know that it is possible and
capable of being done. God would not reveal a principle to us unless it is
obtainable for us.
I love the image of a shadow to help us see this truth
with visualization (a God given tool). Go ahead try it. Look at God’s
lovingkindness in your life and praise him for it. Now visualize those hurtful
words or acts with a shadow cast over them. Let this shadow show you the true
insignificance of the behavior compared to the divine lovingkindness of God. Let
that overshadow every other distressing word or act against you.
An easy way to get in the habit of letting God’s
lovingkindness overshadow earthly unkindness is to continue on our journey of
recognizing God’s favor! To look for God’s favor is to find God’s favor. In
this Bible study God has helped us to perceive God’s shield of favor
surrounding us. He has moved us to become aware of his favor and behold it with
great value.
So God introduces this lesson to us at an ideal time when
we have already begun to see his lovingkindness with his favor extended to us.
Let God’s unlimited favor, benevolence and lovingkindness overshadow the
insignificant human unkind words and acts. See his light of unconditional love
and goodness toward you cast a shadow over the actions of mere humans.
With all that said, I declare and proclaim this, the
words of God, over you ladies:
Numbers
6:26
The Lord
make His face shine upon you [with favor],
And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness]
And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness]
This
week focus all your attention on the grand lovingkindness of God and his lush
shield of favor surrounding you. Take notice of every nugget of God’s favor and
praise him for it. Let all this attention directed at God’s benevolence and
goodwill toward you cast shadows over earthly mistreatment and unkindness. Let
it appear completely insignificant compared to all the gracious goodwill of
God. Let your creative God-made-mind visualize and form mental images of God’s
lovingkindness overshadowing all uncaring on the earth directed at you. Notice
I used the word “let” several times. “Let” means you have the ability to do it.
It also means you are allowed and enabled by your Maker to do these things He
has revealed to us today. You play an active part in putting earthly hurtful
behavior in a category of insignificance in your life.
Do
you realize what we are learning from God over and over again? He is giving us
tools to see the truth and a heavenly perspective on earth. Thank you Father
God for this loving lesson meant to give us more peace on earth. May this
lesson resonate in the hearts and minds of the readers to call them to take the
actions described here and find peace!
