Drat That Devil - But Praise to God

They say attacks from the enemy mean you're doing something right.  Tonight it looked like he was really trying to mess things up.  God is moving in a mighty way in our small church and apparently the enemy wants to slow us down. And I do mean the TRUE enemy, not a brother or sister in Christ who is simply doing their best from moment to moment.   Fortunately, God is bigger and things that sometimes seem like a mess up - is actually His hand at work.   Have been small tensions building and tonight things came to a head.  But that was a good thing - God was able to bring out some things that had been said that were not true and we were able to talk and pray and leave in a better place than when we arrived.  I learned that we all need to be there for each other - some have had heavy burdens and were trying to carry them without help from the family of God.  Me included - but God is showing that we need to reach out and let others be there for us.  I know that when my own brothers and sisters lean on me - it usually makes me stronger since I know that they need me.  I want so much for all of us to be bound together in a love that is real.  It might seem unrealistic to some to want everyone to love each other - but I know that it IS possible with God.  If any of them read this - I truly love you with His love and want only the best for each of us.
