Sunday before Christmas
I started my day thinking how I can convince my husband to go to church and watch the Christmas worship tonight. I wonder what would be his answer? Will it be a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’? It is hard to get a ‘No’ for an answer. The fear of making him mad or turn this morning in to an argument. But the spirit of God spoke to me and said, “It is his soul, his salvation and his life…let him be mad”. A smile in my heart appeared. Of course, I do not want him to get mad. I just need to know the answer.
The conversation started like this, “Honey, I kinda’ wanna go to see the Christmas show at this church tonight…they have it for 3 nights and tonight is the last night…I really don’t want to miss it…–not for sure, I think I will be busy tonight”, he said. A pause and then he said, “what time”? When he asked me the time I knew he’d come. Just at that moment, I have a smile on my face.
We got there a little early and found us a couple of good seats. I am very excited. I feel that this is going to be the night that my husband will receive his salvation. As I hope that each day would be the day, always.
The worship and the performances were awesome! They surely touch my heart, and I hope his too. The sermon was spot on. It was about finding our purpose, untangling the kinks in our life and being the light in someones’ path. God is the only one, who could help us. He is the true light in our paths.
The pastor said a little prayer asking for forgiveness, asking Jesus to come to our hearts, making Him our savior, our friend, and our father. I prayed that my husband repeated the words. I prayed that he will receive salvation. I prayed that he will be saved. We left church with a big hope in my heart, thankful that God answers prayers.
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Psalm 13:5
