I Was Hungry.
I WAS HUNGRY,
and you set going a humanistic association and you discussed my hunger.
I WAS IN PRISON,
and you sneaked quietly to your quiet chapel in your quiet neighbourhood and prayed for my liberation.
I WAS NAKED,
and you wondered wasnt that perhaps immoral?
I WAS ILL,
and you went on you knees and praised God for your health.
I WAS HOMELESS,
and you preached to me about God's loving care.
I WAS LONESOME,
and you left me alone to pray for me.
You seem so holy.
You seem so close to God.
But I am still hungry and lonesome.
I'm freezing.

Hi Gail. I found myself praying for you this past weekend, asking that the Lord would remove hurts and any intimidation that had come against you. I felt that you had been wounded by some harsh words, or a harsh delivery that was unfair. I sensed that the Lord was wanting to affirm you in your gentleness, in your heart of worship and that he too had been saddened that you had been unjustly hurt. I don't know if this makes any sense, I will leave it for your testing. But wanted more than anything to let you know that you are highly prized and valued, because you are Gail!

Sjoe!!
(that's an afrikaans exclamation sort of pronounced "shoe" (only quicker) - but has nothing to do with shoes. It means wow, amazement, astonishment etc...)
That is thought provoking.
Was good chatting to you today. Be blessed my friend!!

I once saw a poster that said "Prayer: Just Another Way To Feel Good About Doing Nothing." At the time, it really offended me. But the words stuck with me. And God has shown me over and over since then that while prayer is essential, sometimes the answer to prayer lies in allowing God to move us to action.
Thanks for posting this powerful confirmation of the truth He has been speaking into my life, Gail.

Gail,
I am always amazed at God's timing. The subject of this post was the subject of a prayer today at Bible study.
Praise God!
Love,
Jennifer
