Do you every want to know if God is listening to you? To your desperate pleas for peace and cries for help. Do you ever wonder if the your deepest desires and hurts are truly understood? The answer is yes. He hears, understands and responds. There’s a catch though. Sometimes He answers with just what we’re looking for and sometimes He answers with just what we need.

Sometimes what we’re looking for it just up the road a piece, but what we need is here, now, hidden in the everydayness of our lives. It is in the middle of our prayers and tucked away in unexpected moments.

Morgan was with the kids in children’s church on Sunday morning. Princess was playing with the other kids and Monkey was standing with some help from his momma. A friend of ours was their teacher for the day, a witness, if you will. Not once, or twice but for a miracle of three times, Monkey laughed, giggled and smiled at his momma!

That’s all the proof we need. He is listening and He knows the exactly what our hearts need. That is mercy at its finest, an experience of Christ’s love in one of the most meaningful ways He could give us.

I know this has been the topic of much joy and a previous post. Oh well, you’re going to get one just like this pretty much anytime that boy laughs or smiles. It will always be what drives us, keeps us and reminds us that we are not in this alone.
