GOD STRETCHES YOU TO MOVE YOU FORWARD.
I remember the preacher illustrating this by having a man stand a distance at the side of him. The preacher held a glass of water and told the man to stay where he was in order to get the water. The man naturally had to stretch towards the preacher to receive the glass of water. This shows that sometimes God does not put things within our reach to purposely stretch us.
This really ministered to me. I remembered the line from Shekina Glory's Yes (another Soundtrack of this blog) "there is more that I require of you". I said "yes" to God in my heart and this sermon really encouraged me when I began to feel overwhelmed and discouraged.
After church that day Rayon came over for lunch. I was happy to have him and I was also able to meet his mother when we dropped him home. I think that opportunities to interact with the families and caretakers of the Deaf are priceless because it gives you so much insight into the personal situation of each individual. That way, it is easier to pray and serve and address their needs.
All in all, it was another blessed day!
