I had a holy moment

Between what Randy spoke about yesterday (Martha and Mary) and between life being crazy right now, I needed some God time last night. Jesus revealed to Martha the secret things of God. He spoke to her heart in their moment together, and He spoke to mine. Last night, I literally heard the Lord say to me, "Turner... Turner... I know." He knows that it is hard being in full time ministry. He knows that this is a lonely stage in life. He knows that transitions are tough. He knows and He cares. The hard things in my life don't slip by Him unnoticed. He spoke compassion and love to my heart, simply by saying my name and telling me He understands. That holy moment changed my perspective on life, just as Martha's moment with Jesus changed hers.

I read Colossians 3 today, "Set your heart on things above..." It is a lot easier to set my heart on things above when I have heard the Lord speak my name and heal my heart. I am holy, dearly loved, and known by Him. Life gets hard and my heart gets hurt, but the Lord continues to gently speak into my heart and change my life in those holy moments I spend with Him.
