give it away, give it away now...

for the past 2 days I have, almost continuously, heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers singing this in my head..."give it away, give it away, give it away now.."

then I realized it wasn't the Red Hot Chili Peppers singing to me...it was a message from God.

i feel like He often uses mediums that i love to speak to me - like music and films, to reveal Himself to me. maybe He is OR maybe it's the turning point to me 'finally' getting the message from Him! Ha.

So, this time around - God was telling me to give something away. something that i didn't know i needed to give away and then when i worked out what it was He was talking about i realized that i didn't want to give it away...and then i remembered the power of Him repeating Himself 3 times in the Scriptures...and then concluding it with a "now". and i realized - i wanted to obey Him more than i wanted to hold on the thing that He wanted me to give away.

a little cryptic.

perhaps.

and that's alright. sometimes my journey with Him is...or it seems to be...cryptic - BUT i absolutely 100% trust that He has ALL of the details figured out. and i trust Him WAY more than i will ever trust myself.

So...i gave it away.

and now i am blogging about it in the hope that this somewhat cryptic mid-week message will challenge, prompt, bless or inspire someone...anyone!

He is good.
He can be trusted.
He always only ever wants the best for us.
He sees the bigger picture.
He is a phenomenal Author.
