How does God's blessings come. Many times we look at it only from a monetary value such as an increase in our pay check or a love gift we receive from someone.
Before the receiving, giving has to first begin. Before there is a tree, there is a process of sowing seeds. I tithe or give in expectancy that He'll bless me because His Word says so. Whenever I see a blessing, I would tie it with the parable of the sower. I would say within myself...this may be one of the fruits :)
Recently, I had an encounter that made me feel that truly the Lord is with me. Another new english teacher came over from London to help us out for a short 4 months. She was a really sweet and special person. Just when I thought over the weekends about transforming the infants and toddlers class to a more teaching like style, her presence was like a confirmation to what I feel the life inside. I talked to my boss today over lunch and shared to her how I felt and she said that was what she has in mind. She just wanted someone to start it. So she gave me the privilege to get the ideas together and transform the new place.
The teacher happened also to stay 10 mins away from me =) I couldn't believed it when she mentioned to me the place. No foreigner would come and stay near my place haha...which is just far from everywhere! Just so happened her boyfriend was posted to work in one of the army near by. But I felt God's love even more when he came and pick her up...I got a ride home too. haha.. Got a look at their house they stayed in and it feels like I'm in Cameroon Highlands having a holiday.
She gave me the joy of teaching. Spending time with them gave me a warmth feeling and it feels like I was part of them in the holiday working trip.
If this really was the fruits, I look forward more to the days where I can sow and give to Him. The joy of receiving from the Lord is nothing compared to the little we give to Him. His ways of blessing us is always unexpected and brings joy than what our tiny hands try to earn the blessing we thought could give us the happiness.
