Encouragement in the Midst of Coronavirus

Hi, Lord Jesus.  The events of the past 10 days or so have been dizzying.  But before it goes out of my mind, I want to capture a sweet moment of encouragement from Mosaic Church when we attended on Sunday, March 8, 2020.  It seems so long ago now.

I sat next to Tue during the service.  Early in the service we sang a song that I knew (and I did not know all of the songs).  He leaned over and said, "I bet you know all the songs!"  "No, not all, but this one."  Later, we were singing the song with the refrain, "I am a child of God."  (Its real title is "No Longer Slaves.")

So, of course, the tears began to flow.  Were You reassuring me, Jesus?  It was also not lost on me that he appeared to be comfortable in this church and that he appeared to have been there at least a few times before.  I *know* You are chasing him.  I don't want to get in Your way.  Thank you for the little touch of reminder that You are still after him.

Keep pursuing him, please!!  And if You would show Your plan to them for their wedding, with so many of the complications from coronavirus "social distancing," I would be so very grateful.

In Your name, for Your sake, by Your Spirit~~Amen.
