As soon as the pastor opened up the time for prayer at the altar I walked right up. I layed bare my ugly bahavior, thoughts, tendencies and struggles to 2 women whom I respect greatly. They wrapped their arms around me and spoke truth into my life. They gave me words of encouragement and the Lord spoke through them to me. When I put aside my pride and succumb to his call upon my heart to draw close, that's when I truly experience his love for me. Taking risks in my everyday life also gives me opportunities to trust God in new ways, finding out something different and exciting about his character and love for me. <BR/><BR/>CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957211690309524609.post-86248608169596120372007-08-31T13:41:00.000-07:002007-08-31T13:41:00.000-07:00Great post!

Taking in a teenage roommate, building a relationship with an unsaved person I met on myspace, corresponding with my high school friend who's walked away from the Lord...these pursuits require trust in the Lord and His constant help. Even hard things are invigorating when they push you closer to the Savior. I try to look for things outside my comfort zone that the Lord may ask me to do.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082397622528304997noreply@blogger.com
