The Nudge From Above

The nudge from above.
What is that!!! Dictionary says that to nudge is "to gently prod someone with the elbow in order to get their attention".

I wonder how many times the invisible, yet very real and very tangible Holy Spirit comes "alongside" each of us and nudges us to pay attention to something ... or more importantly someone.

Personally I love that the Spirit nudged my friend Lily (in a Friday afternoon biology class many years ago) to invite me to her church that weekend. I love that He kept nudging her (maybe a double nudge) to not draw back when I said "oh, I believe in God, but I don't think ya need to go to church". I love that He nudged her and possibly whispered, "yeah, yeah, but ask her if she wants to come anyway".

I love that life is full of nudges from above. Nudges that have the capacity and potential to open amazing worlds of opportunity and change.

John’s gospel records how Jesus said the Spirit was "with" us and could be "in" us and I love that He is attune to way more than what we see or know or understand. I love that alongside us, He helps us see and hear and navigate and understand the Father’s heart for people and situations.

I wrote a tweet a few minutes ago ... "imagine if EVERY BELIEVER said YES to just ONE nudge-from-above this week ... It could possibly be a world changing week".

It only took two possible nudges from the Spirit in a bio class 38 years ago to point me in the right direction ... So who knows what that same, unchanging, eternal and magnificent Spirit has in mind for and on behalf of the Father this week!!

Tell us about some of your life changing nudges!!
Personally, I'm making this a "nudge sensitive week" (smile)

Love ya's
