Yesterday my friend, Rosa, and I went visiting. First we went to a home of a lady who use to go to our church but has made some difficult choices and now is not attending any church. She received us warmly into her home. She has a newborn baby and two older children. We talked with her about life and shared with her from the Word of God. How each day we receive new mercies from the Lord and in that we have hope. She told us how she knew she was far from God and wanted to return to Him. We were able to pray with her.
"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
We then went on to another home of an older lady who really enjoyed having visitors. She went on and on giving testimony of all that God has done in her life. It was encouraging to hear her faith. We prayed with her and her niece who lives with her.
Finally we ended up at the house of a dear friend of mine, Dorcas. She is going to have her baby sometime within the next three weeks. This is her third baby, but her first died when he was 1yr old, and her second was a miscarriage. She is an amazing woman who despite all the tragedy in her life she continues with a smile and faith that can move mountains. We prayed with her, her husband and her mother who is there helping them in the house.
I went out of my house praying that God would use me to be a blessing and encouragement to those we talk to, and returned being so blessed and encouraged by them. God is so faithful.
