When a package comes in the mail, I wiggle in a happy dance and giggle like I did in high school. This isn't just a package nor the contents common, ordinary items. But they're carriers of love, kindness and thoughtfulness.

They fit like a glove, they happen to be the colors that best compliment my complexion and hair color. And the prices are hard to believe.

Got one of those boxes today. I opened it, tried it on and my heart smiled.

The package comes from my dearest friend Elaine. She lives in St. Louis. Each time she heads to a department store, she takes me along in her heart. She knows me well-- my size, style and taste. She finds unbelievable bargains, packages them, and puts the box in the mail.

Shopping at the mall is nearly impossible for me. Not because of my blindness, but because of my full-time job and my full-time ministry—writing and speaking. No time to browse through stores.

But God knew this better than I did…and He took care of that need. He uses Elaine to accomplish this.

Not only does He provide for my physical needs and my wardrobe, but I also found He knows the perfect garment for my soul. He crafts the right amount of provision to fill my emotional needs. He sends the package of hope, assurance and strength when least expected. My heart also giggles at the sweetness of His timing, his love and genuine attention to my every need.

All of us have an "Elaine" in our lives…God sends one for each of us. I guarantee God knows what you need before you know it.

Yours may not be wardrobe items, but whatever you lack is already in the package at the doorstep of your heart—if you'd only open the door.

"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways" Psalm 139:1-3 (NIV).

I pray you discard your worries about your needs and find He, who knows you from afar will bring the right package at the precise moment to make your heart smile.
