ASLC Devotions - Thursday

Philipians 1:11

 

May you always be doing those good kind things which show that you are a child of God for this will bring much praise and glory to the Lord.

God is present in places where your fears live.  You meet God’s messengers in the strangest places.  I met such a lady over ten  years ago when I was having my mammogram.  She was the  technician who administrated the procedure.  I go yearly so I knew what to expect but this year was different as my best friend had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was going through intense chemo after her surgery.  This time I was visibly nervous and  apprehensive but instead of hurrying me through, she talked me through and listened to my concern.  Her support and care at the moment  meant so much and thanking her just didn’t seem enough.  She shared with me that her job was not only her career but her mission to share God’s peace with the patients.  Her gentleness and reassurance made a dreaded   procedure tolerable.  When I schedule my appointment I ask for her and enter the room each year with a smile on my face for she has the love of Christ in her heart.  Glory to you oh Lord!
