Another full day. Church, lunch with friends, a walk in the park, sad and disturbing news, seeing old friends, praying with new ones. A full day. With two songs floating on the edge of my creative grip tomorrow just may prove to be fruitful as well. I was truly encouraged and uplifted by the fellowship at college group tonight. Often I don't look forward to prayer groups at the end as much as i should...but i get the blahs when it turns out to be a shallow share-fest and tiny prayer session that ultimately remains either very 'me focused' or impersonal..or both. Tonight was not that way. People were sharing about personal struggles during our study that has just begun in Ruth and as five other girls and I gathered to pray afterwards the stage was very much set for us to continue sharing. In a large group like the Fellowship I've been going to these last 8 months it's often hard to really get to know anyone because everyone has a million things to do and ten other people to talk to while giving only 10% of their attention to a conversation with you. Needless to say they never get too deep. Today was a perfect summer Sunday and I am again with all my heart grateful that God never intended us to be Christians by ourselves. I am uplifted, if for no specific reason, and satisfied in the knowledge that I may have helped to uplift others.
There is something to full life in Christ. Something I have yet to grasp in full, but I have tasted and I have seen. GOD IS GOOD. HE IS FAITHFUL...and He will have His rightful place of honor in my life.
Jesus, praise you for your grace and mercy are neverending....because if they could run out I would have long ago taxed their resources in my foolishness and sin. Send in extra portion your peace and mercy to my friends tonight who are hurting. Healer of my soul bring restoration to them, Friend of my heart bring comfort, Teacher of my mind show them the light and the wonders of your glory. Your mercy never ends, and your love endures forever. Thank you Father for your steadfast love, you will never leave, you will always be, right by my side.
