(A tribute to my Girlfriends, whom I love dearly...)
This last past month has been one of an aching heart for me, but yet at the same time, one of unexplainable strength. God “blessed” me to be on the receiving end of so many sorrow filled conversations and at one point I cried out, because I was like God I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I shed many tears because people that I love so dearly were hurting and it hurt me that they hurt.
I use the term “blessed” because through this season, I’ve come to understand that God trusted me with intimate details of people’s lives and innermost secrets and I did what I was supposed to do – I prayed earnestly and fervently for them. Daily I whispered their names to the heavens, as if it were me, and petitioned heaven for blessings and victory. I was in the right place at the right time and I thank God for using me as His instrument. My faith has been strengthened and I have become all the more encouraged.
Yesterday I began to receive good reports as a testament that prayer works. So, after my aching heart came overwhelming joy. Unspeakable joy. Knowing that even though I don’t deserve His grace and mercy that He gives so freely, He provided a reprieve for my aching heart so that I can continue to used by and for Him!
Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Out do one another in showing honor.
Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
Psalms 30:5…weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
