Random Tugs

A few years back, I was assisted to realize that I in fact had a gift of prophecy. Please, don't construe it as I being able to foretell or foresee the future or anything like that. I am not one with a gift of fortune-telling but of prophecy, the biblical kind. If anything, the gift comes with the ability to speak for truth in situations and the ability to receive messages of warning, rebuke, news and whatnots from the Father. I haven't really mastered the gift as I have admittedly not have been practicing lately, but I for one know that it's there.

I first experienced using this gift unintentionally, in church, at a farewell party of a person whom I didn't know so well yet. I forgot why but we started praying for each other. After praying and the usual hugs and stuff, she got my hands and asked if I knew about the gift of prophecy. Honestly, I didn't, but she was kind enough to explain it to me anyway. Well, being a girl of not-so-tender-yet-tender age, she explained it in the simplest way by saying something like "It's a gift of being able to know the right things to say to the people going through things without you really knowing the whole picture.. And these things you say are God-given." I never forgot that moment ever since.

And so lately, I think the gift tugged on me again, in a different way. It was a normal day, I remember I was walking from somewhere to somewhere when suddenly, this person was placed in my heart. I remembered her and I felt a strong kind of longing towards her. I contacted a few people to collect her number but to no avail. One of those whom I contacted revealed something about the person I remembered, something she was going through, and right then and there, I connected the dots and knew that that was why I suddenly remembered her. And I'm glad I did.

I miss her and how we used to be good company to each other. Now more than anything, I pray for the wisdom to know the proper way to approach her and the proper if not the wisest things to say.

I miss you Tita, C.
