Jesus likes to tell us secrets

I have a unique connection with Jesus, where He seems to enjoy telling me things about other people. For the most part, I don't ask Him to tell me things about them; He just does. Usually, I will be in conversation with someone, or be passing by them, or just listening to them speak, when God will tell me something about them. He usually has one of two motives in this: One, for me to encourage that person with a word. Two, for me to further know that person and know how God sees them and their heart (this includes not telling the person what God showed me about them...which can sometimes be hard, especially if it's outrageously cool).

I like to remember the things He says about that person, because it gives me a lot of insight into who they are and what their hearts look like. However, often times I won't remember a single word of the prophecy I gave them, because it wasn't for me at all - it was only for them. I don't usually like to even call it a "prophecy", because to me it isn't. To me it's just a secret God wants to let me in on, and it usually just comes out of my relationship with Him. Whatever you would like to call it, though, I really do enjoy walking in it. It gives me special eyes and a special heart. I can now see people the way He sees them. Maybe not fully, but partially. I love it, either way.
