It just dropped in my spirit after listening to The Stroke Song
numerous times.
The song is about how to tell if a person is having a PHYSICAL
STROKE, but The Stroke Song can also tell whether a person is
suffering from a SPIRITUAL STROKE.
1. If you can't smile.
You grumble and complain all the time; you're not happy about
anything.
A smile represents some level of joy, courtesy, thanksgiving and
friendliness. A smile even makes you look better.
But if you won't or can't smile, something bad is wrong.
I never will forget the day when I was at a friend's house and we
were out in the driveway. I was playing with his small son named
Christian, and he walked up and looked at him; the smile that
was on his face. He didn't just look at him; he beheld him.
That smile spoke volumes. It is no wonder why the smile is the
first sign.
2. If you can't or won't acknowledge that everyday that God
gives you is a blessing.
A sunny day represents beauty, comfort, warmth, clarity,
relaxation and purity, just to name a few.
A spiritual stroke will prevent you from experiencing the
blessing of a new day. This is the day that the Lord has made,
let us rejoice, and be glad in it.
3. If you can't or won't praise God.
If you can't throw your hands up in thanksgiving and surrender
your will, then it is quite possible that you're having a
spiritual stroke.
Remember, the call is free.
PRAYER
"Lord, may I give you fitting honor in the way I live my life and in the way I treat my neighbor. May I honor the Lord's Day as a day holy to you. And may I always treat others with the same mercy and kindness which you have shown to me. Free me from a critical and intolerant spirit that I may always seek the good of my neighbor."
