Being a messenger of God's love to another person is an awesome honor. By this I mean not just the daily living out of the Gospel message to "love one another," but the special time when God COMPELS you to reach out to someone in a special way that only He can orchestrate. Usually this occurs at a time and place that is inconvenient for you, or it is directed at a person that you really don't like. A few days ago I felt compelled to send God's love in a most unique way to our department secretary. The day before she had been experiencing some chest pains at work and someone immediately drove her to the hospital. She was OK, but had to follow up with some tests. She was experiencing a lot of anxiety both on the job and in her home life. Her burdens were many to say the least. The day following her trip to the hospital I was coming home late in the evening after enjoying dinner and conversation with a friend, when I heard a song on the radio (K-LOVE/94.3 FM)and I felt that God was telling me that I had to get this song to my secretary as a Valentine's Day present from Him. I did a turn around and drove to my local Family Bookstore and asked about the song, I wasn't even sure of the title, but they did announce the artist as J.J. Heller. So I asked for a CD by her, and sure enough, they had one copy left and the cover of the CD showed two hands coming together to make a red heart. Perfect for Valentine's Day, for sure. Our God is a God of every single detail, and then some. I was so elated that God would have me bring his message of love to my hurting secretary. I carefully wrapped the CD and wrote a short note expressing God's love and care. I don't know the results, but I know that with God's love present, healing and hope are alive. I thank the Lord for allowing me to be his messenger for this Valentine's Day. Now I would like to share with you that very special song by J.J. Heller, "Your Hands."
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
