the motion of mercy

The flesh in me caused me to be sick to my stomach every time I thought about the idea of approaching them in love, this birth mom and dad.

But He reminded me He was with me, and He would speak through me.

Fear of what would happen gripped me.

But He provided peace in the very minute I chose to ignore the fear that Satan had intended to hinder my steps forward.

The very thing I was afraid would happen happened, and the tension on their end built. I knew the liar just wanted me to retreat, tuck my God grace back in, and go my way, never attempting to open this relationship of grace again.

But He reminded me there is no such thing as cheap grace, and He saves the sinner, sick in sin.

I left feeling defeated; their attempts to shove me in words weighed heavy.

But He reminded me that I don't wrestle with flesh and blood, but with spiritual forces of evil.

What does it look like? The spiritual realm...not seen with the human eye...what changes take place when children...then a family...who have possibly never been prayed for before...are now being lifted up to the heavens often? Oh, one day I hope He shows me.

Will you pray those walls break down? Will you pray God gives me the availability to share the Good News in love to this mama and daddy?
 
Watch this song and know my God has already won this battle.

  2. You are brave. You are obedient. Believing Him with you for answers above and beyond what we can even comprehend. Praying.
