While in Macedonia this past month, we had experienced some difficult times of loneliness. What i mean is that it was just Kris and i in our borrowed apartment in a lnad where we understand little of the language and out of communication with those we love. Then i heard it - the tink on my computer that indicated that there was a new email. I clicked open an email from a brother in our church and it was one of the most encouraging words we had heard a number of days. I was overwhelmed!
This past Monday i saw this brother and told him how God used him. He commented how he really felt the Holy Spirit lead him to write me at that point. What a major blessing. The thing that was so important is that this brother responded to the prompting of the Spirit in his life. I was wondering today....is God prompting you to email a word of encouragement in the life of another person? I mean....be silent for a moment and ask God to bring to mind one person who you could write a kind, uplifting word. You may never fully know how crucial that word might be to that brother or sister. Stoop reading this blog and go email right now!
