Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
(Hebrews 10:25)
Saul and I have just gotten back from our small group fellowship held at the home of James and Marissa Yap. Our hosts prepared a sumptuous meal of pasta and finger foods.
It has been such a long time since we last had a small group fellowship together. But tonight felt like we've never really stopped meeting...so much to talk about, so much to laugh about, so much to share...
I, for one, was blessed by this evening's gathering. I have been wanting to be part of a couple's small group for some time now...I have been enjoying a very passionate relationship with the Lord and my heart has been aching to share this passion with my husband. Saul has been a Christian for years now, even before I finally accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour. But I couldn't help but actually desire to see him really accept God thru declaring it via prayer. Not in private, mind you, I wanted to see it and hear it in the flesh. I just felt that need to see it.
And tonight, the Almighty answered my prayer.
James and Marissa led us back to the basics of our Christian faith : God desires that we spend eternity with him and that we enjoy an abundant life, that man has a sin problem that separates us from that desire of God, that we should confess our sins with our hearts and repent and finally that we should accept Jesus, if we haven't.
And as James led us in the prayer, I prayed...but i couldn't help but sneak a peek at my loving husband to see if he was praying, if he was accepting Jesus once again in his life...
And he did...I saw his eyes closed and deep in prayer...I don't see him like this at church...at church he seems always distracted (but I know he is listening---he just has this uncanny ability to listen without needing to look like it). But tonight, with the company of people of great faith in the Almighty, my husband was still, his body relaxed and there he was, praying to God.
I knew that God heard my prayer...
Thanks God for putting up with my pettiness...
