The Ripple Effect: A Conversation with God

A ripple effect. The wave starts far off, long before it crashes against the shore. It has a whole process—a build-up of momentum before it breaks. And that’s how life hits us too.

When we find ourselves overwhelmed by a situation, we need to step back and ask:

Where did this start?

What were the actions, the feelings, the smells, the surroundings?

What was going on in your immune system?

Were you under spiritual attack—or was it a test?

We have to start taking notes on our own body, our own thoughts, and our own patterns instead of constantly flooding our minds with everyone else’s input. We've lost our gift of discernment because we keep telling our still, small voice to shut up—or worse, we drown it out with noise and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

And beyond that… we’ve lost reverence. There’s almost zero reverence for God in today’s culture. He’s mocked so often it’s become casual. No one even flinches anymore.

I wonder… does God cry? Does it hurt His heart? What would He say if we asked Him?

Well, let’s ask.

________________________________________

What if God is saying right now…

I created you to love Me… and yet you won’t even talk to Me. (Imagine His gentle hand reaching out, lifting your chin to look up at the heavens. He smiles and says:)

Hey—I love you. I just want to love you. Will you let Me?

I know this world is cruel. I know it’s been unkind to you. I know you didn’t deserve so much of what you went through… but I am going to make all of that better. I promise. In the meantime, will you trust Me? Will you let Me love you? What can I do to get more of your heart and attention?

Can I have just a little more space in your mind, a bit more of your heart, I won’t push. Even though you are Mine—bought at a high price—I’m still asking - not expecting, or demanding. Is it okay if I step into the tiny details of your everyday moments? Help you along, give you peace and understanding.

It’s okay if you forget Me sometimes. It’s okay if you get pulled into the chaos. I’ll wait for you. I’ll be right here.

You don’t know how much I love you. You really don’t. But I’d love to try to explain it.

Think of the person you love most in the world. Got them in mind? Now imagine you’re in a room with 100 people, and someone tells you, “We’re going to kill all 100 people unless you kill the one person you love the most.” How hard would that be?

Well… I did that. You were one of the 100. And it was My only child. My Son. That’s called agape love. A love that puts you above all.

I love you so much I wrote My name in your DNA so everyone would know you belong to Me. I gave you 10 fingerprints, completely unique. No one in all of history or across the planet right now shares them.

You're rare. One of a kind. Custom made. You’re cooler than cool to Me.

And I didn’t just design you—I placed My Spirit inside you. Yes, the same Spirit that’s in Me is in you. So I could always be with you. When I was forming you, I smiled. I’m outside of time—I don’t rush like you do, so I took My time. I breathed My breath into your lungs. I know every freckle, every wrinkle, every so-called flaw you think you have—and I love them all – because they are all a part of what makes you special and unique.

I don’t like when the girls wear makeup to cover what I made. You’re My creation, beautiful and perfectly made. You don’t need to hide, just as the flowers in the field need no further adornment. I love you more than you love yourself. (And for some of you, that’s saying a lot—lol.)

When you cry, it breaks My heart. But guess what? I’ve saved every single one of your tears in a jar. And when you come back home to Me, you’ll see—those tears have turned into beautiful jewels.

We’ll reflect together on all the pain, and how the wave started, and the glorious ripple effect it caused. I can’t wait to show you.

While I’ve got your attention—I want to compliment you. I’ve seen the way you engage with other humans. You, long for real, authentic connection, helping, loving and caring for My other children. That’s Me in you. You carry a reflection of the Trinity—always united, always connected. That yearning? That’s divine design. I want you to have joy. Not pain. Not hurt.

And yes, you’re human, I know that. You will sin. But I will help you with that. There is no burden that I cannot lift from your shoulders. I’m always working in you, creating a clean heart. While I openly offer all of this to you, just as you are – I still need your willing presence. So, come be with Me.

Now, I won’t drag you. I won’t shout. I will wait for you for as long it takes. I won’t ever turn you away. But I can’t help you unless you want me too. I long for a little of your time and attention, to talk to you, and hear you talk to me. And yes, I know giving up your time that’s so fleeting is hard — distractions are the enemy’s favorite tool. I know the war between your flesh and your spirit is exhausting. But you will win-because I am on your side. You may not see the victory yet, but it’s coming—if you let Me help.

I’m a gentleman. I’ll wait.

Speaking of patience—I see yours running low lately. But think of Martha. Martha—she was running around, trying so hard to make everything perfect. She thought she was loving Me through her work. And yes, I saw her heart in it. I wasn’t mad at her. But I could see the weight on her shoulders. The pressure. The stress. The unspoken belief that love had to be proven through effort. She was doing for Me… but missing being with Me. Mary, though—she paused. She sat at My feet. She let the dishes sit. She let the to-do list go unchecked. She chose to listen. To receive. She didn’t need to earn My love. She just wanted Me. And that’s what I want from you. I know you’ve got Martha in you. I know you care deeply. You want to serve well, love well, manage it all. You want to hold it together for everyone else.

But hear Me—you don’t have to earn My love by over-functioning. I’m not grading your performance. I’m not waiting for the perfect moment or perfect dinner or perfectly put-together life. What I’m waiting for… is you. The work will still be there. The world will still spin. But I want you to remember—there’s nothing more important than being with Me. And I promise: it will not be taken from you. And because I’m Spirit, you can think of Me and your situation at the same time. It takes a little practice. Start with prayer. Sit in My presence until you feel My Spirit. Then stay. Linger. Go about your day, but keep coming back to Me.

When you’re interrupted—no shame. Just return.

I’m right here.

I’m not leaving.

I love you.

Once you can understand that and feel it. We can get to work!

Oh yes, I have a job for you. I made you for a special purpose. But we can’t begin without love, trust, and obedience. I’ll show you where to go. I’ll lead you to the people you need, steer you away from those you don’t and when to press on and when to pause.

But I need your trust. I need you to say yes. I want you to live your best possible life, and if you let me, I will lead you to that path.

Because your ripple effect is meant to impact a lot of lives. Even if you never meet them, you will make their lives better. This is not an easy job, so we need to start building your stamina now. The enemy will try all his tricks, but together he is no match for Us.

Don’t worry about what happens if you mess up. Or if your heart isn’t in it some days. Or if it all feels too big. Just stay focused on Me, as am focused on you. If you need help, start with My attributes. As you speak them to Me, I’ll pour them back onto you.

I love blessing you. I really do. But I don’t want you to come to Me just for that. I want your heart to feel the love that I have given to you. I want your heart to be pure. I want your connection to be real.

And, above all I just want to love you.

So will you let Me?

—God
