The Night God Came Looking For Me. . .

Have you ever had one of those nights where you went to church only out of obligation? You know, the service where you show up so the pastor sees you, but really not in the mood to pray or play (I play the piano / organ for church)? This was my night! Not feeling well to say the least, but decided to go to church with my family, but had no intentions of getting involved. We were almost 45 minutes late, But Ok, I'm here. All I could think about was how much I wanted to be at home in bed asleep. Then we walked into Church and it was a powerful service going on and I, still being stubborn, was just going to sit in the back and let it all go by. At this time I looked down front and there stood both of my girls in a circle praying with several other girls. Courtney and Devyn got a wonderful blessing tonight. It was a packed house and the power of God was moving across the building so strongly that no matter how much the flesh did not want to participate, the spirit was stronger. At this point I'm arguing with myself! My flesh wanted to sit and be left alone and my heart was craving the sweet presence of almighty God to sweep over me. It was a blessing that I have needed for such a long time. I JUST NEED TO TOUCH THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT! I finally came to the conclusion that there was no way to stop the inevitable. The tears came so freely and my heart had been touched by the hand of God. Suddenly the air became easy to inhale and exhale . . . Breathing such sweet air. I was comforted by the comforter; I was at peace; I was now in a much better place. . .in the hands of God. As the song says, "I'll never know how much it cost to see my sins upon that cross." When God died for a sinner like me. It hit me that no matter how awful I feel, God suffered more pain on the cross. Realizing it, I was not going to hold anything back and instead give God my all. This night God came looking for me and I opened the door to his loving arms.

This was suppose to be a normal Sunday night service and ended up being one of the best church services I have been to. When the hairs on the back of your neck and arms stand up on end and you get the chills . . . . . God will be looking for you. Trust his heart. God is to wise to be mistaken.

To all my friends and family that do not go to church, you are missing out on one of the GREATEST FEELINGS in the world. The world can't give it to you and the world can't take it away. You can't drink it, smoke it, or dance to feel it, nor can you buy it at a store. I promise you one thing, there are no problems too big that God cannot fix. God can do anything.
