Answers from God...

I was looking back over some notes from Mobilise and I come across this conversation that I've had with God. My memory is often fuzzy, so a pat on the back for writing it down. It was so refreshing and funny to read it and to be reminded of it again.

I could have asked a million deeper questions or requested something massive, but in this instance I asked a very weak and pathetic 'what if' question. As if the God of the universe needs to listen to a 'what if' question!

To give a little context to the conversation (which, perhaps rather riskily I will put up) a friend of mine is going through a really hard time and is in a difficult situation, which does not make it massively easy from where I am to support them. But, God has given me this friendship and a heart for this person so it is my responsibility and should be my joy to support them.

Context briefly given, the conversation went a little like this (with no gender specifics to make it a bit more anonymous):

"You are to be their support and their friend"

Me-"But what if they turn me away?"

"Then you keep trying. You keep fighting. You don't lose hope."

Granted it was a short and sweet conversation, but there is little more to be said when God Almighty says something as incredible like that to you.

I still find it incredible that even with a simple, weak question like that, God takes the time of day to listen and answer. Its with those words that I know what God wants me to do and it's clear that God has given me the privilege of such an influential position in that person's life.

I just love the fact that Job moaned, Jonah ran, I questioned...and He answered us all.
