Pictures From Jesus

God speaks to each of us in a unique way. God speaks to my mentor and my mother in pictures. I love when He gives them a picture for me. One girl I know just sees words when she prays. I began to wonder how it is that God talks to me. I don't get pictures, I don't see words. In fact, often I am not sure I hear God at all. I started to get really frustrated. I wanted to get pictures. I loved the pictures God had given the women in my life for me. I started to pray that God would give me pictures

One of my love languages is words. I love the power of words and the encouragement they are. Little did I know, God speaks my love language, I just hadn't been listening. After mimicking David and telling God how I really felt, I was blown away by the way he proceeded to talk to me. He gives me verses. Sometimes the reference of the verse is irrelevant, sometimes it is the same one he gave me the last three times I prayed but out of obedience I have learned to look it up no matter what. 

Once I learned the way I hear God best, he gave me two pictures. In that moment I was overwhelmed by how special those few pictures I have are. If God spoke to me in pictures all the time, I would not remember them all. They would be common place to me. But with the scarcity of them, I remember the pictures God has given those around me. Those pictures are precious and I often think upon them to bring me back to that place I was at when I was given them.
