Angels of Mercy-Coming in the nick of time

This week has been particularly hard for me. I've had to trust others to do the right thing and wait on the Lord. There have been some angels of mercy around me. I know this. I was at the lowest point of my existence, wondering what in the world I was going to do. Then I heard a voice telling me that I was not alone. I knew that voice. I heard it many times before. I had a choice to make. I could continue to wallow in my self imposed prison or I could reach out. I decided to reach out. Would my situation improve with this reaching out? Yes....just having someone to talk to and who was willing to listen was enough.

I was struggling. Yet I told everyone I wouldn't give up. I couldn't give up. I felt like I was drowning, going down for the last time when someone came and lifted me up. The words of encouragement energized me. I could now laugh at myself, instead of weeping for what was lost.

Maybe you're struggling now. Maybe you feel as if the bottom has dropped out and you're free falling to your doom. There is a lifeline. You just have to believe that it's there and reach out. Yes, I know it's scary to reach out. You don't know what to expect. I know. I've been there. I know that feeling of not wanting anyone to know how scared you are and not being able to do anything at all. It's not a good feeling.

Remember this, God sent his son in the nick of time to save us from ourselves and to make us his children. More than you and I, he knows the innermost part of your being....the part that longs to be whole again. He can make you whole again. He's done it for me many times. I have the assurance that he will continue the work he's doing in me forever. What a comfort that is!...to know that he won't give up on me.
