A hug from God

God always has a hug ready for you. Just ask.

This morning, I stopped at my church to have a long talk with the Lord. There is nothing so calming as to sit in front of the altar and just listen, pray, listen and sometimes cry, many times smile. The peace you feel is beautiful and at times, overwhelming. Many times, it is this peace I crave deep in my heart and that is when I know God is calling me to come and visit. This morning was one of those calls and I headed to church to spend some quiet time with the Lord and unburden my heart to Him. 

As I was walking down the quiet hallway to the Sanctuary, a door opened and out walked a dear to my ♥ friend of 26 years, Mary, who had a big hug for me. God knew I needed that friend and that hug at that precise moment. Amazing. I wasn't expecting to see her,  Talk about a smile from God!

And as I am typing this, the song that has become mine and God's song just started playing on the radio another smile from God (that will be another episode on my blog). Yes, God is so good and loves us so much, even when we argue with Him.

Yeah, I tried to argue when I felt the need to go to church this morning, but I am so greatful to God that He doesn't give up on me and nudges me until I say 'Okay, fine! I'm stopping at church'. He had already arranged the hug from my friend and didn't want me to miss it. I'm glad I didn't miss it too.
