A magical moment

A magical moment. That is what it is like when you experience the presence of Christ in you as you come face to face with another person who is in need of His love. It really isn’t magic but is in fact the spark of the Holy Spirit working in you and at that moment in time and at that exact point in space where you touch and hold that person’s hand you feel and have within you the Love of Christ. It is by your touch that you bring His life forward as a gift. A gift of comfort, a gift of safety, and a gift of freedom, that can only come from God himself. By that touch the hand that you extend is not yours but Christ’s. You are chosen. You are the one who brings His face to the world and to guide others unto the pathway of His grace, His mercy and His forgiveness. If not for you, then who else? You have been called, you have been given the strength of the Spirit, you have been shown the glory of His presence in that which you do. Have faith and have confidence that He is right beside you now, just as you have always known and as He always will be. This is just the beginning. There is more that He has in store for you. Be patient, be strong, and be confident in all that you are doing. God is with you. God is with us and God will shine his light for us to follow in His will and in His time.
