When was the last time you really and truly bared your soul to God? The following story is an excerpt from a sermon on prayer from Tim Patrick, Pastor of Faith Baptist.
When we carried our son and daughter-in-law to the airport in Birmingham, as they left to go overseas, I cried. I had told myself not to cry. Get this picture. My oldest son felt led of God to spend his life serving in southeast Asia. He was about to leave. I knew that for the rest of his life I would only see him for short visits. I knew that I would never spend extensive time with my grandchildren. I had the audacity to tell myself that I was not going to cry. When they started through security, I cried. I didn’t just cry. I wailed. People were staring at my as if there was something wrong with me. There was something wrong. My heart was broken. I cried! There was no pretense. There was no cover up. People could read me like a book.
That is what happens when we get real with God. We bare our soul to Him.
Would like to encourage everyone to attend a worship night tonight at Nomad Community Church in Melbourne, FL. If you are not local tune in at www.ustream.com.
