November 3
He has been stuck since his last operation. He is on disability, is ending rehab and is totally depressed. I pray for guidance.
Over lunch he says, “I’m challenged physically but I’m ok mentally and spiritually.”
“You are not OK!” I retort. “ You are caught up in your pain and fears and it is consuming you.”
He stares at me. The silence that follows screams at me. Finally he says reflectively, " You just crossed a line... but I'm glad we had lunch together. What you are saying is that I have been given the Grace but I’m keeping it to myself. I need to give it away.” I nod. We stand and hug.
“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses to Me.” (Acts 1:8)
