No Gifts

If I'm asked what I need; I will bring out a long list…
Elisha wanting to return a favor, asked same of a woman
I have no need... she responded... 
He then went ahead to fill in the gaps...

Do I speak to the king for you? No she responded 

Or speak to the Army chief? Don’t bother she replied
Elisha prodded further from Gehazi his servant... 
What can I do to help her?

She has no son, was His swift answer…

To a barren woman, the cry of a child should be loud 
Especially if the call is from a Prophet like Elisha
I pondered on this a while...
  

What will make any woman say no to blessings?
Could it be because of past hurt or experiences...

Her present age or her spouse perhaps...
I then asked myself'; can I say no in a similar situation
 
As I reflected on this... it became clearer...
God can do all things is a known fact; but not this...

There are certain things we have accepted as fate

We choose an unpleasant statuesque rather than aim high

Like her; we have become comfortable with some issues...

Bring out the ashes, let it be replaced with beauty

It’s a good time to embrace Gods help...

Especially in areas we have tagged impossible

I will rather keep pushing for a needed change

Than accept an unpleasing fate

I see God intervening, but I pray you to believe again
However, let your good deeds speak for you

…all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Job 14:14 Bible Reference 2 Kings 4:8-16
