Celebrate

Yesterday's service was unbelievable. The presence of God was almost "tangible". I found myself making that ugly face. (you know the one you make when you're really weeping but you can't MAKE IT STOP) We sang "Healer" and had three people give their personal testimony of healing and it was so uplifting and encouraging. Almost everyone I know has a family member or loved one who needs healing. Whether it be relationship, physical, emotional etc... we all need God's attention.
We do a poor job of celebrating victories. We are so consumed with the next issue and so conditioned to look for problems that we miss what God is doing NOW. Every once in a while we just need to be reminded that GOD IS AWESOME and has not retreated. I think if He can heal liver disease (Felton Turner), degenerative bone disease (Brandi Wood) and fix a heart (Jerry Neal) He can handle my little problems.
Thank you Holy Spirit for making Yourself known in Your church yesterday. Help us keep our focus on you and never miss an opportunity to celebrate Your love and the things you are doing in our lives and the lives of those around us.
