Recently I took the initiative to help and pray for a couple who was facing some difficulties in their relationship. They are not close to me but they are close to my good friend. Hence I decided to pray and agree with my friend to see restoration in the couple’s relationship. I took the lead and we prayed intensely and purposefully. It was an anointed joint prayer.
A few days later, we learnt that they have patched back and we knew our prayers had interceded on their behalf. The couple gave thanks to the people who have advised them during their times of difficulty. However I was not mentioned in it. As a result, I felt a little bitter about it each time I thought of the matter. I knew it was wrong of me to feel this way. So I decided to talk with God on this issue.
Then during one of my prayer time, God spoke to me in 2 sentences. He said, “I love you.” Then He paused for a little while before He continued, “And I need you to help other people.”
Immediately, I was arrested in my heart. His simple and sharp words changed my entire perspective of the whole matter. I could feel the appreciation God has for me and I felt honored to be used by Him to help other people. I thought this was even better than actually receiving the gratitude expressed by the couple themselves. As what Pastor Amos always say, “One touch from God is better than a thousand words.” Amen! God sees and God knows.
