I was just listening to Sister Donna and Brother Aaron singing ‘Good morning, Mercy’, and it reminded me of something that happened yesterday early in the morning, around 3am, as I was getting ready to go to work. It was one of those mornings when, waking up, I didn’t really feel anything from God. I still praised Him, thanked Him for life and hope, and did my morning routine, part of which is sitting down in the kitchen, usually drinking a coffee, and reading something from the Bible. As I was sitting there, I started talking to God, and asked Him, “Please let me feel something from You. Please let me feel Your mercy”. Then I picked up my Bible, and started reading 2 Corinthians, which is where I’m at, going through the New Testament. And this is what I found:
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”
And as I was reading these words, the mere fact that God had just put it in my heart to ask Him to feel His mercy, and then allowing me to read that He is “the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort” made me tear up, because I felt that it was Him telling me “I’m with you”, it was Him comforting me with His presence on an ordinary morning. He knew how I was feeling that morning, and He cared enough to give me a gentle touch, a moment of comfort, that really did last only for a few moments, but it meant a lot for my soul right then and there, and it gave me strength for that day at work.
So, I just want to thank Jesus for this touch, for his kindness. And I thank him that he reminded me of this through Sister Donna’s song, because this morning I was just thinking that I hadn’t written to y’all for a while, and I was contemplating if there was anything that had happened to me recently that would be worth sharing 🙂
God bless you all.
