My
Red Bird Story
Several years ago, when I was
living in the country, in Iowa, I was driving down a country road in
the middle of winter. The sky was gray, the snow was gray
from the dirt that had attached to it, the houses were even gray
looking, though white, they captured the dirty look of the snow. There
was no color of any kind...not even an evergreen to give some color.
I cried out to the Lord!
“Lord, my heart is as gray as this scenery! Where
are You? I’m beside myself with anguish, and don’t
understand the turmoil going on my life, right now!”
Suddenly, I looked ahead on
the road, and a bright red cardinal landed in front of me, and just sat
there. At the same time, the verse came to my mind:
“...I will never leave you nor forsake you”
Hebrews 13:5b
No trees around
anywhere...and God chose to place a bright red bird to calm my anxious,
gray heart. I’ve never asked Him again...”where are You”
because He’s never left my side, and I’ve never doubted that again!
Praise God for His infinite
mercy, love and grace.
Gloria J. Sperry
(Isaiah 26:3)
