SELAH MEDITATION: Lillian Stimson, my maternal grandmother saw something in me that no one else could see. Everyone else could only see hyperactivity and disobedience. My parents couldnt understand what to do with me and thought the rod was the way to drive the rebellion and disobedience from me. I never knew for sure what I was doing wrong, only that I was wrong, bad and naughty. My just under a year older brother perceived me as a threat to his position as firstborn and without cognitive malice Im sure, decided that I needed to be punished for doing so. Without intending to, I fulfilled the negative expectations of those around me. But my dear precious grandmother, my moms mom, saw a prophetic destiny in me that was the antithesis of all the others. She believed in me, and the seeds of her faith and demeanor toward me saved me, a tendril of heavens hope held me fast. Just ONE person that believed in me, held me by what would appear the thinnest thread of God breathed prophetic optimism. I often wonder if some of these people, especially the young men and women, many just boys and girls.Those that have committed these horrible crimes may have been saved if there was just one person that believed in them? I dont know, but I know the power of what ONE precious soul that stood in the face of the opinion of all others did for me. She in the gentleness of God allowed His love and faith to flow into my confused soul and it delivered me from all the hell and horror the enemy had planned. Thank You Grammy!! SELAH!!
