As I sat down to write
my blog post this morning, I quickly checked the stats page and saw that the
number of readers is steadily climbing; more than 800 in the past month. I am humbled and blessed that there are people
out there who are interested in hearing from my heart each week. I’ve often wondered if the time it takes to
write this post is well spent or wasted; “if a tree falls in the forest and
there is no one there to hear it…” sort
of thing. So thank you for the time you are taking right
now to read this post.
Also, as I looked at
that number on the stats page, I realized that every number represents a
person; a real person with real dreams, struggles, hurts, fears, victories, etc.
etc. etc. As I thought about you this
morning, I found myself wishing that we could get to know each other
better. I like people a lot better than
numbers. However, I realize that the
power of social media is in getting the word out to as many people as possible
and the opportunity to get to know each one personally is just not
feasible. But this thing I can do. Believing that God does in fact know each and
every one of you personally and intimately, I can pray for you; calling on Him
to bless you as He deems necessary. So
today, I did just that. I prayed for
each and every one of you who read this post.
I do not know your individual need but I do know the one true God who is
intimately aware of all that you are facing today. May God bless you. I mean that.
“For
this reason we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with
the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a
life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every
good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power
according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and
patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to
share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of
darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have
redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
Colossians 1:9-14
