“Katrina, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“No, you don’t understand. I love you.
Seriously, I love you.”
The insistence accompanying the words, convinced me they were
not flippantly being said. And the sincerity
in the speaker’s eyes further confirmed the words’ authenticity.
Now, I hate to break the news - this wasn’t some sort of romantic
encounter. This was after campfire, over
10 years ago at Spring Hill Camps, where I was working with high school girls.
A gal named Jenni spoke the words. Her time at camp had been particularly
meaningful as God had been doing a lot in her heart and in her life. It just so happened that God allowed me the
opportunity to come alongside of her during her two week stay.
Honestly, I can’t remember a lot of the details. Jenni and I lost touch years ago and I
haven’t been able to find her on myspace or facebook, yet her words remain with
me. I think because her words made me
realize our ability to influence, and to encourage, and to make difference
in someone’s life, is far more reaching and powerful and impacting than we
could ever dream or imagine. And so,
though our time may be short with some, we still have the opportunity to
sprinkle rain drops of eternity on those who desperately need refreshing –
drops of faith, hope, and love.
