Sometimes we just have to do what we think we are supposed to do in faith, and absolutely we are to do all things in faith, but not really feeling it. There was a lady at our church this evening who was sitting at the base of the stage and I somewhat felt that I was to tell her that God loved her, unbeknownst to me my beautiful wife was feeling the same thing. I took a deep breath and went over to the lady with my wife and shared what God had placed upon my heart - I did not miss God and the lady was ministered to in a powerful way . I am not trying to get any attention for myself but rather to make a point and it is this; when God gives you a word to share with people then share it, when he places a word on your heart speak it. God can and will use anyone who makes themselves available to him, all he is looking for is a willing and obedient heart.
On another note God showed me, again, that I am very like my cat. I have a cat that is a Turkish Van cat and one of the breed's traits is that they do not like to be held. My cat wants to be touched only on her terms, she does not want to be held and if she submits to being held she moves away as quick as possible. She wants touched strictly on her own terms. God is saying to me that I will not let him hold me on his terms, I know that I am his "cat" but I will not let him hold me as he wants to hold me. It is just so hard for me to receive God's love. God will change me, I just need to be still and let him "pet" me. Blessings to you all.

Sometimes I have had the image of God petting me. Funny.
