Have you ever been so discouraged that you cried?

Have you ever been so discouraged that you cried? I have, in fact that was me on Friday. I was in so much pain and discomfort physically I could barely move. My neck, mid back and low back all went out at the same time. Thankfully the Lord opened the door for me too get into my Chiropractor first thing in the morning. Praise the Lord! But the pain did not instantly disappear.

Mid-afternoon I was sitting alone in agony feeling very discouraged when someone knocked on my door. At first I ignored it thinking; 'Go away whoever you are!' Thankfully my friend Vickie did not go away, she kept knocking. (We had set a date to pray and study the word of God and in my pain I had totally forgotten.) I hobbled over to the door to see her smiling face. Can I be honest? I love Vickie, but I was not in the mood for a prayer meeting or a friendly visit. BUT GOD!!

It turns out that Vickie was in need of a touch by God too. In fact she almost called me to cancel, but felt God telling her to keep our prayer date. PRAISE THE LORD SHE LISTENED!! We talked, we cried, we declared the word of God over each other, we cried some more and we entered into the most amazing time of worship! Wow! What a mighty God we serve!!! HE did not care that I was grumpy and discouraged from pain, HE met me right where I was!! Jesus received our prayers and gloried in our humble offering of worship!! It was a Matthew 11:28 moment; "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest..." Vickie and I were both touched, refreshed and encouraged by the unfailing LOVE of Jesus!

My prayer is that Jesus will keep knocking at the door of your heart until you open it an invite HIM in, for HE has much to give you. Jesus wants to shower you with a fresh revelation of His unconditional love!!
