Well, it is officially Monday. The wee hours of Monday....but same difference.
I should be sleeping because 7:30 comes so quickly and I always manage to master the look of zombie. Why are mornings so difficult? Probably because I sit here typing instead of sleeping.
But, these things are important.
I sang with Gospel Choir at Night of Worship tonight and it was by far the most powerful worship night I've ever attended. The talent and passion blew me away. We had the privilege to sing with such talented and beautiful voices that I know I wasn't the only one who felt the pure power of the Holy Spirit set that sanctuary of fire for the Lord. It was amazing. And something I'm not soon to forget - nor should I.
Today's devotion hits home...God has a way of answering prayers.
"What a wonderful God we have...who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us. - 2 Corinthians 1:3 TLB
Encourage those who are struggling. Don't know what to say? Then open your Bible...To grief stricken: "God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'" (Heb. 13:5 NIV). To the guilt ridden: 'There is now no condemnation for those are in Christ Jesus' (Roman 8:1 NIV)."

I also ran across this:
"If I could sit down and talk with you in person about your life, I would tell you that if you have received the Lord, the answer to what you need is within you. That's because the Holy Spirit of God is within you, and He will lead you in all things. He will transform you and your circumstances beyond your wildest dreams if you will give up trying to do it on your own and let Him do it His way.
We all long for the closeness, the connection, the affirmation that we are good and desirable. But God is the only one who can give all that to you all of the time. Your deepest needs will only be met in an intimate relationship with Him. No one can ever know you as well or love you as much. That insatiable longing for more than you feel, the emptiness you want those closest to you to fill, is put there by God so that He can fill it."
--Stormie Omartian The Power of Prayer
Again, an answered prayer.
Words aren't doing justice to how I feel tonight, it is a fulfilment that I haven't known in a long time, a peace, a fire - there isn't a word. It simply is.
