What an experience of (in?) grace, mercy, faith, healing and love...<br /><br />Now I realize that there may be some other denominations that may be "suspect" (uncomfortable, perhaps?) of a blessing such as this...but that doesn't negate what you have seen/felt/known in your own skin...in your own spirit. {I wrote in a comment a few days back about the various Christian denominations being more alike, than different....and that we are UNITED by our LOVE (not divided by our differences).} What you experienced WAS a free-flow of GRACE & LOVE....and it's okay to relish it, baske in it...breathe it in, time and time again. I am SO happy for you, that you had the courage to step out, in faith, beyond your "comfort zone", to RECEIVE this gift that God had waiting for you! It's TRUE: "Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." It's clear that you love Him, Penni. Your desire & longing is genuine & powerful. Look at the doors & windows He is opening for you, daily! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your grace-filled day with us. My heart has been a little weary & discouraged the last few days, and your experience has lifted my spirit and renewed my strength...reminding me of some things I needed to be reminded of...especially now. <br /><br />My mom used to have a saying that she used (and she still does)...it was simple (and I have heard it repeated many times over the yrs): "Let go and let God". Which is a "modern-day" version of so many of the Psalms....Yes! He does love you! Yes! He does care what you are going through...and you are NOT alone! Yes! MANY people (near and far) ARE praying for you, Penni! And I am grateful & humbled to be among them.<br /><br />May God continue to bless you, guide you and inspire you!! Yes, what Sue said is so true...it truly IS "amazing grace".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020361.post-30388555086322369072007-01-29T13:55:00.000-05:002007-01-29T13:55:00.000-05:00I'm at a loss for words..what a beautiful post!
