And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you." (2 Corinthians 12:9)
You are not alone. The Lord is standing next to you. He cares. Jesus said, "Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20).
This gives me such a sense of peace knowing the Lord is ALWAYS there, maybe sometimes it scares me a bit too because it reminds me he sees everything! "I'm never alone", what an awesome feeling to know He is always there, right beside me, sometimes carrying me. These feelings I'm experiencing are somewhat overwhelming but splendid at the same time. I mentioned last night that my husband Jeff will be traveling through the end of he month and usually I get a little depressed knowing he'll be gone but I can honestly say even though I will miss him terribly I haven't experienced that sad, depressed feeling that usually overcomes me several days before he travels. Not to mention knowing I have "my girls"! I can't think of anyone other than all of you for a support system, such a comfort for me.
Today has been such an amazing day! God is so sneaky sometimes. I work with this very sweet girl, she is a Christian through and through well today she told me she had something to tell me so she came over to my desk and began by telling me that her & her sister along with their entire church was fasting. I stopped her mid sentence and asked her why she was telling me this and she said she wasn't sure she just wanted to share it with me. I was so amazed, she went on to tell me about the blessings they both have been experiencing during the fast. When she finished I let her know that there was a group of us from my church who also was fasting. We both sat there and just giggled for a minute because it all seemed so odd. Once I explained to her about our fasting she said "for some reason I just wanted to tell you". Anyhow, she then told me about another women she met who also informed her about their church fasting as well. That just goes to prove how God is working through so many of us and how he's making a way for us to find each other. I'm still in awe of how all that came about today but feel so very blessed that we are all a part of it.
"You are not alone"
Don't you just love that. It's like God just wanted to let you know you were right where you are suppose to be. Confirmation. Very cool. Makes you feel loved.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed seeing this post until today-this is so amazing! I absolutely LOVE it when God invites us to come along and be a part of what He is doing.
ReplyDeleteHMMMM-I WONDER! What IS He doing???
Thank you so much for sharing this-I'm so glad I posed this invitation that the Lord had prompted me to give to you all. When I think that I almost didn't, I cringe inside. But He wouldn't let me keep my mouth shut-and we all get to go along for the ride! **It would be quite interesting to know what your friend ends up experiencing, seeing, engaging and/or growing through during this time!
Love you Cristol!
