God Speaks
Today my husband went to pray with a man who he thought he was going to “minister to”. This man and his wife are a couple who we have begun to build relationship with but who we have not shared any intimate details of out lives with.
What happened blew me away so much that I had to write about it. As they were praying the mans wife said that she felt God tell her I had been hurt and rejected as a child and carried that hurt a long time, all true, and that this hurt was further compounded by being badly treated by people who were supposed to love and protect me, also true. She said that He (God) knew about my pain and that it would soon come to an end, that His love would restore me.
I am very skeptical of these types of prayers these days and if anyone who knew my story had said that to me I wouldn’t have believe that it was God speaking. But the thing is these two did not know anything and it the only way they could have is if God told them.
I know that soon to God can seem and eternity to us and I am not so much focused on the over bit but (although I did ask how long the other day in a post ) I am just amazed that He spoke. I have been hiding from God all week, feeling annoyed lost and alone. If I was God I would not have been bothered with me. I would have put me in the to hard basket. Instead he chose someone who he knew I listen to and got them to speak to me.
He really is amazing he listens to the cry of your heart even when you are hiding it from him.

23. September 2008 | 12:36 hI think it is such a relief when he just does his thing despite what we had planned. It makes me feel like I really am his child and he really has got it all under control. Because the converse is that he gives us SO much freedom - which I don’t want it any other way, we get to learn the stuff we need to learn and own it for ourselves, and it feels like co-creating in some way. But the opposite of all that massive freedom is sometimes feeling like he’s just sitting back and letting us go. So when stuff like that happens … well, it’s a comfort, hey, Lou?

I also appreciate that he is not an overbearing tirant always shouting and demanding things of us
