The Gift of Discernment

For some reason, this week God has really opened up my eyes and hearts to the chains that bind my peers at school. I know it's so I can pray for them. But it's hard. I was standing at my locker this afternoon and I could feel without a shadow of a doubt, the oppression that hung over the girl standing next to me. And before that I was really discouraged by this one girl that keeps laughing at me (and other people in class) she just seems to lack any form of respect. But God gave me a vision of her covered in chains, almost like scrooge from A Christmas Carol. I hate it. I long for God's revelation to rain down on each and every one of their lives.

I'm reading Radical by David Platt and he mentions the reason for God performing miracles is to bring His glory and to bring others to the name of Jesus. I feel like people misinterpret my joy for being a suck up.....but that doesn't mean I'm going to stifle my joy at all for the likes of them. No siree bob.
