Thankful Thursday

Thursday, August 7, 2008

I woke up last Tuesday morning feeling kind of down and lonely and a bit sad. I told God, "Lord, I know you love me but I want You to show me how much You do. I want to consciously feel and see Your love once again." That was my prayer. Then I went on with my day. Later that morning I got an email from my ENLI classmate Gayle allowing me access to help customize our new Multiply site. I browsed through it and found this.




After watching this short video, I remembered my prayer early that morning. God did show me how much He loves me in a way I would understand.


Lord, thank you. You not only showed me how much you love me but you also assured me that you hear my prayers. You know the desires of my heart, Lord. I'm holding on to your promises. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him." 1 John 5:14-15

Isn't it amazing that when we cry out and ask Him to reveal Himself to us, he absolutely does. I thank you for sharing that reminder.

Hi Pia,
THanks for visiting my blog! I love to make new friends, and it does not matter if you are 2-legged or 4-legged!
I love the video... somehow it came at a time when my mom is feeling that God forgot about her and left her alone to cope during the last 2 months.
THanks for sharing..
