I met with the Lord today through an email from a friend.

I owed him an email but he was far too quick for me.

I intended to write to him but postponed it.

As a total surprise,

– as an act of kindness,

– as an expression of love,

– as pure and divine grace

his email arrived this morning

with fresh insight from the Holy Spirit!

My friend shared with me

meditations, observations, and revelations

from his private walk with his Risen Lord

and the Lord came to me through his words.

I was challenged to draw nearer to God

to live a life fully aware of his presence in my life!

Far too often I am caught

– in the busyness of life

– in all the duties of ministry

– in many small things demanding attention.

Far too often I am loosing

the consciousness of his presence with me.

But today I encountered the Lord

– through his presence in an email from a friend!

Lord, let me always live with the consciousness

that the Living Christ fills me by His Spirit.
