A young man I see on Saturday mornings has been coming for a year now. When he first began he had attempted suicide and only as God does, was stopped because his wife who was on the job had called one of his brothers to check on him. Well, a year later he is a much more stable young man. His struggles are those “common to man”. A week ago after our session I was prompted by God’s Spirit to write a post-it note in his file so I’d remember to ask him this week what were the positive things that had taken place for him in the week. We actually met last night instead of this morning due to his work schedule right now. So, last night I asked him the question. It was amazing all of the things he brought out about himself. It had little or nothing to do with his work, it was simply things he noticed about himself and the joy he’s finding being a child of God. His facial expressions were priceless as he spoke of these moments.

I know that God nudges us to do things and I do try to do what He nudges me to do. Last night’s obedience in asking a simple question was amazing. He left the session with a brightness in his step and I left the session feeling very joyful. God sure knows His children!
