Because I Love You

This morning as I was putting on my Face and Neck cream and thought, “Today, I need to pick up a refill.”

First I have prayer meeting, the reason I am up and moving. Afterward, I take the chance to talk and of course a trip to the bathroom before I can drive to Target.

Parking, I see a woman  a few rows over, with a cane and a young child. I pray for her healing from a distance and go on into the store. Getting my bearings, I start walking in the probable direction to find my face cream.

Walking down the isle, I see the lady I prayed for. She pushed a cart into the isle in front of me.

I walk past her.

“Go back and talk to her!”

Approaching her I said, “I saw you in the parking lot and I prayed for you, but I was wondering if I could pray for you in person.”

“Yes.”

I remember, “Do you mind if I touch you?

“No.”

Laying my hand on her shoulder I Pray, “God Bless you with healing in every cell in your body from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet, and The LOVE  of God Fill you giving you strength, courage, and joy.”

Afterward, I wanted her to know God has done miracles in me and that God will do the same thing for her.

Her little friend becomes restless so I move on to the reason I came, or so I thought. What  I find is a box saying they are out.

When I felt the nudge of God to go to Target, God was setting up a meeting with this woman to say, “I SEE YOU! I KNOW YOU AND WANT TO PUT COURAGE INTO YOU!”

Beautiful Woman, if you read this remember, God set up the meeting just for me to pray over you and let you Know He Sees you. You are not alone. You ARE LOVED!

Pain

God is finally getting my attention.

All my life God has been first, but now setting time aside to commune with Him has been pushed to the evening before bed.  I am still talking with Him all day but it is not the same.

The first reason has to do with turning 50. I started waking up in the middle of the night for hours, so now I just stay up.

The second reason  I used to get up with the sun spend time with God and take care of my family. Now my husband who was the night owl is up long before me. Things are different.

So what does this have to do with pain?

I have been reading Facebook memories often about waking in great pain and not able to do anything.

But, then I spend time with God

the pain leaves, and I get up and run or clean or do yard work free of pain.

I am not saying that always happened but it is often enough; I need to take account, and get back to PUTTING GOD FIRST!

LORD HELP ME SUCCEED IN PUTTING YOU FIRST IN MY DAY!

IN CHRIST JESUS NAME I PRAY, AMEN.
