I sat for a few hours tonight in a waiting room and in that time I was able to reflect on many things. First, I want to relay to everyone how thankful I am that God pulled me to where I am; that my skepticism didn’t turn into hatred, distrust or torment. I am grateful that I am loving, kind, compassionate and trusting. I am so thankful that I heard God, despite that at one time I turned my heart and mind off to the possibility of Him.
As I sat and watched the people around me, I could see pain, not just in the physical aspect, but in some of the faces. Some were alone in that waiting room, and no one to call; some called, but no one answered. I spoke to a couple of people and prayed for them – three unknowingly to them, one I prayed for and told her. Prayer is an awesome gift we can give to anyone, with no cost to us at all.
I thought again of how rich my life is. How just having a heart of gratitude changes everything. It truly changes everything – my perspective, my outlook, my history and my time to come. Through Your word I can read Your promises, but Lord it is the confirmation I receive that embeds Your promises so deeply in my heart.
It is my heart’s desire to do Your will, to be one that others will see something different.
