Touch Me

I felt God last night. His mighty arms held me! He showed me His power! I never thought I could feel the love of God like I feel the love of a human.

It was one in the morning and I should have been sleeping, but I had taken a nap in the afternoon so I was not tired. I did my devotions and turned off my lights. After a few minute laying in the dark I started to pray. Usually I can hardly pray for five minutes, but last night I did not want to stop. I felt God! I cried out to Him last night.

In my stupidity I asked Him to prove Himself to me. (how many times must I ask until I believe?) I have been doubting lately and I wanted Him to show me His glory. My back had been twitching all day and no matter what I did it would not go away. I told God to take away the twitching. It did not go away. I cried out to God again saying that I believe He can take away this twitch. He took it away! Right then He took it away! I lay there thinking it was going to come back any second, but it did not. God showed me His power. He wrapped His arms around me last night!

I felt a love stronger than any other love. I cannot fully explain what I felt last night, but I know it was God. I have never felt God's presence the way I did last night. I will not doubt my Lord!

In the arms of a Savior,
Em

Jeremiah 29:11
"I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Proverbs 19:21
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understandings. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."
