Just Thinking...

This is my third entry this week; I think that’s a record!

I have been thinking lately about how beautiful it must be to the Lord when we stumble awkwardly to follow His will…

You know the time you nervously handed your troubled co worker a Bible…

Or that silly confession you told even though you thought you might get laughed at or berated…

Like the time you walked all the way down from the balcony to the front of the church just to receive prayer…

Or when you sweat through a prayer for your friend even though you hate to pray out loud…

Feelings do not determine holiness. And you know looking back, the times when the Lord has actually been pulling me closer have been the times when I have had the most questions about my efforts to follow Him and know Him.

“Humble yourself before the Lord and He will lift you up.” James 4:10
