I heard a song yesterday afternoon that I had heard many time before but for some reason, this time, the song stirred my soul and I had images of what the song was about. My heart swelled with love and excitment thinking about what it said.
The song was about all of Gods children from every nation and tribe gathered together in heaven standing before Our Creator singing a song in perfect unison. It reminded me of my dad who was a pastor. He was also a full blooded Navajo Indian. When he was a kid, he had a bad lung that had to be removed so his parents sold him for two hundred dollars to a white couple who happen to live here. You see, in the Navajo culture, if you are sick or have a defect and when you get old, the tribe abandons you. I guess that comes from the old days of where survival was the number one thing in the lives of this culture. He grew up to go to Bob Jones and then went back to his homeland and flew a small plane around the Navajo Nation to reach thousands of his people and bring them to God. He loved the Lord with all his heart. I was thinking about his tribe in their native dress, which is very colorful, standing by the peoples of Israel in their native dress and Indian in theirs, Africa in those beautiful robes, our native dress along with all the nations of the world standing shoulder to shoulder singing. Think about all the nations or tribes in the world all dressed to express the area they are from. I can't get the picture out of my head of one nation after another standing side by side in peace and singing. I don't know about ya'll but I love to see and get to know different cultures. It makes me happy to have this picture in my head and makes my heart swell with joy at the thought of meeting all these people. Just think about what that may look like!
Gina,
Thanks for sharingg this vision. It is very awesome to imagine. I think the psalmist must have had a similar vision.
Ps 86:9-10
9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, Adonai, and shall glorify Your name.
10 For You are great, and do wondrous things; you alone are Elohim.
Gina, I see now where you got your "heart!" What a wonderful story with such beautiful imagery. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Loving thoughts and prayers coming to you from my heart to yours...and all the way to Afghanistan to your Jessie. I said a Mi Sheberach (prayer for healing...which includes emotional as well as physical and spiritual) for him this morning at our synagogue...my love to you, Gina
