HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to those who are a father. Hopefully yours was a good one for you. This morning’s devotional time has been overwhelmingly touching. The worship music I’ve had playing in the background has been so rich I kept having to stop and just listen while my heart rejoiced!

Yesterday I had a counseling appointment right before lunch. I had left my phone at home absentmindedly. so I missed a call from a young man I have been working with for over two years. When I got home and saw that he had called, I called back. He’s a very quiet person so when he answered he said he had been prepared to talk when he called but now he was struggling to find the words. As he pieced them together he told me he wanted to apologize for judging me and not believing what I’ve challenged him to address. He said all of that had been out of fear but God had shown him it was the right thing to do. “He was a man with his own mind and could hear God’s voice and follow it.” This is what I had encouraged him to do. He always sought other’s direction for himself and he’d be discouraged with it, blaming them. I was one of those blamed, but not any longer.

I’ll never stop being amazed watching God work in someone’s life, including my own! How privileged we are and I am!
