There are moments in worship that one tries to never, ever forget because they are so Spirit-filled, so profound even when they are so very simple. The truth is, I've forgotten many of them. Comments that children have made during Children's Time that I thought I would never forget and now years later I can only remember that they said something important but I cannot for the life of me remember exactly how it went! So I'm writing this one down so I can look back it some time later. Even if it doesn't touch you in anyway, at least it's here when I want to be reminded of my need for Christ.
As I bowed to the cross and turned on my heel to leave the sanctuary I made a quick stop along the path to give her a hug. She was holding her hymnal so it was a bit awkward but what she said made every hair on the back of my neck and arms stand up. It was a Holy Spirit moment and it just slipped out of her mouth as she came forward for Jesus. "The body of Christ given for you, Melissa" I uttered. Breathless she responded in a barely audible whisper, "Thank you, I need him. . ."
Thank you. I need him.
I need him too.
Other than that exchange, I don't want to say too much. . . often I simply say too much. Put way too many words next to something holy. . . so for now this is all. . .
God bless you this day and always!
Amy
