Quite a few years ago, for three years in a row I had a Robin

beat himself silly trying to get into one of my windows...

 

Every spring this Robin would show up and do the same thing...

He/She Robin would be tattered and bruised looking trying

to fly in my window on the side of the house....

 

I tried everything... closing the curtain, putting pictures of

owls on the inside of the window, standing infront of the

window... but poor robin was losing a few feathers and looked

very frustrated...

 

I asked God why?.... Why was this Robin struggling so hard trying

to enter my house... Lord if this Robin knew what was in my

house it surely wouldn't want to come in.... Lord! How long is

this Robin going to beat itself to death trying to get in my

window where it doesn't belong inside my house? 

 

The Lord answered right away..... "Until you understand what

I am trying to say to you.".... What Lord You are speaking to me

by this poor Robin smashing itself against my window?....

 

Yes, Lord, speak to me.. I want to hear and understand....

 

"You are trying to go somewhere and the way seems blocked for....

If you knew what was on the other side of where you

were trying to go.... you would not really find what you want...

it is not the place you are suppose to be or go... but you keep running

into that "closed window"(door) and you are getting frustrated

and tired and beat up trying to enter in to that which I have

closed off to you.  So you are like that poor Robin getting tired

frustrated beat up.... Stop and turn around and go where I want you

 to go and be.... I have a place for you."

 

Wow!!! A Rhema Word for sure....  Ok Lord, help me find that place

you want for me.... I'm ready to go.... will you please straighten out

my ruffled feathers for me too.
