That’s so wonderful, Rain, the way God has been revealing to you over and over recently how much He cares. It’s such a beautiful, comforting aspect of God’s nature isn’t it? His compassion and empathy and tenderness towards us :)

Thanks Tawny! Lots of blessings to you :)

I know what you mean, Hope! Can you imagine? Being so touched by the Lord’s presence, that you can’t possibly leave – soaking in His tenderness and love and healing and grace – amazing! Thanks so much for your encouraging words too :)

I’ve heard of people being glued to their seats by the Spirit of God before – though I’ve not experienced it yet. (I’m awfully figity it would take an act of God to keep me still for 12 hours. I love experiencing the Lord through your writing, Birgit. Bless you!

He is so faithful in showing us His care even when we don’t deserve it. These past two weeks He has given me so many examples of who He is and how He cares, how very much He cares. Thank you for sharing this, it’s so true that hearing about other’s encounters with God helps to strengthen our faith:)

Lovely to see you here! :) It is true what you say – the compassion of Jesus for each of us struck me so strongly as Michelee shared, but also what you’ve highlighted here – that He always, always has a purpose when He asks something of us.
What this story showed me is how many people may have missed the work of the Holy Spirit that night had Michelle not followed what God asked. And what privilege to see the fruit of Him working through us as we are obedient to Him …
Looking forward to coffee next week! God bless.

It reveals God’s heart for His people yet it also reveals our need as Christians to listen to His voice and hear His Commands. During my husbands quiet time this mroning he was lead to read Ezekiel Chapter 1, 2 and 3. He said to me I must do what God has called me to do regardless of what people say. Twice in one day! Now is the time to listen and obey..Amen
