YOU MISSED OUT

IN MY "NOTE" YESTERDAY, I INVITED MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS TO COME TO CHURCH LAST NIGHT AND RECEIVE THEIR PERSONAL BLESSING.  IT WASNT JUST AN INVITATION.  I SINCERELY MEANT EACH AND EVERY WORD OF THE INVITATION.   I JUST SOMEHOW KNEW THAT THE LORD WOULD HONOR THAT INVITATION.  AND HE SURE DID.  HE BLESSED EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE LAST NIGHT.  WE HAD AN AWESOME CHURCH SERVICE. 

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS WHEN THE QUIET, SWEET SPIRIT OF THE LORD WAS TRULY PRESENT.  BRO JERRY HONORED THAT QUIET SWEET SPIRIT AND SPOKE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL OF US.  THERE WAS NO SERMON, JUST SOME AWESOME, PERSONAL VISITATION WITH OUR GOD.  I LOVE THOSE SERVICES.   OUR PASTOR USED SCRIPTURE TO POINT OUT WHERE GOD HAS BEEN WORKING IN OUR LIVES.  WE HAD A TRULY PERSONAL SERVICE. 

WE WERE REMINDED LAST NIGHT THAT WE SERVE A VERY PATIENT AND LOVING GOD.  NOTHING COULD BE CLOSER TO THE TRUTH.  FOR THE LONGEST TIME, BRO JERRY WOULD ASK ME TO GO TO CHURCH.  I NEVER TOLD HIM NO, BUT I SURE DID PUT IT OFF FOR THE LONGEST TIME.  I FELT LIKE I JUST WASNT READY.  WASNT READY.  I GUESS I HADNT HAD ENOUGH PAIN, MISERY AND HEARTACHE.  I HADNT HURT ENOUGH PEOPLE YET.  I HADNT EMBARASSED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ENOUGH YET. 

BUT

I AM SO THANKFUL THAT THE LORD SAW FIT TO WAIT PATIENTLY FOR ME TO ACCEPT HIS LOVE AND MERCY.  THE LORD LOOKED DOWN ON ME WITH HIS FORGIVENESS AND HIS GRACE.  THE LORD KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE PUT IT ON BRO JERRY'S HEART TO NOT GIVE UP ON ME.  THE LORD ALSO PROVIDED ME WITH A CLOSE KNIT CHURCH FAMILY THAT LOVES ME FOR ME.
