Comforter

Today at church was very good. The message was speaking to me, and I got lots of much-needed prayer. I am amazed at what a positive place my church can be. A healing refuge, if you want it. Friends are there, who have much wisdom and compassion without judgement. The elderly, especially. If you can call them that. The ones who are Seniors are in their 70's, and they have a very progressive attitude. Lord, I hear you speak through them with wisdom and at the same time, affection and appreciation for me and for that I am very thankful. It's very humbling and an honor to be considered something of a peer with that group.

A guy was sitting behind me and my love, and our pastor called for us all to group off in small huddles to pray. A young guy had been testifying about miracles he is seeing God do in his life, and it was so powerful it made me tear up. He was raw and very excited about you, Lord. He was preaching and so young and so anointed. I was deeply moved and impressed with what you are doing in him, and I can relate. You are always busy! LOL And boy can it be hard. Anyway, our pastor called us to pray into our own lives what the young believer was sharing, and we were paired up with this young man who was incredible. He asked me how I was doing and I confessed some things and we prayed, which was very encouraging. But AFTER the service, he came up to me and looked dead straight into my eyes and spoke to me from your heart God, about the deepest things in my soul. It was like he took a page out of my thoughts and just spoke to them, and it was a most edifying, encouraging, and painfully wonderful thing. Said you had been speaking to him about me, and when our eyes locked, I knew I was in for some serious ministry--I wasn't disappointed. God, I love that about you. You never come to me without encouragement and hope. You always say what you think with such love and mercy. What a time this is, when you pour out your spirit on the young and they prophesy. I absolutely love it. It is so mesmerizing and delightful to see you doing your thing in people around me, especially when it comes from them in my direction. I experienced you today as the "Bread of Life" because of the way you fed me from your hand.

Lord, I pray in agreement with you that your light in me will not be diminished or extinguished, despite my shortcomings--that you will be glorified. I am very grateful that you continue to sustain me because I belong to you. It blows my mind all over again, every time I realize that you are still about your business despite my mistakes, and that there is nothing I can do to thwart you, because you will not be moved from your position as Sovereign Lord.
