Today my heart is full.
We were sitting quietly in one of the booths, waiting for a couple of the girls… when one precious young woman sat down under that little light and began opening her gift.
And we just watched.
She smiled…She looked at the purple flower…She pulled out the little Jesus card that said, Everyone Needs a Little Jesus.She saw the blueberry muffin…And she took her time, enjoying each little treasure in the bag.
And as we sat there watching her… it hit me—
She was our gift.
Then another precious young woman came up and shared something that touched me deeply. She told me she still keeps the little Bible we gave her in the back… and whenever she gets a quiet moment, she reads it.
And then with a smile on her face… she told me…
“I’m in college now.”
Oh my…
Tell me God isn’t moving.Tell me seeds don’t grow.Tell me love doesn’t make a difference.
Then one beautiful young woman, while opening her gift, smiled and told us that she’s now going to school to become a flight attendant.
The joy on her face…The pride in her voice…You could feel it.
She was proud of herself…
And honestly…
We were proud of her too.
And I wasn’t alone today. My precious friend Iliana went with me—an anointed woman of God. She’s Puerto Rican, speaks Spanish beautifully, and with so many of the girls now speaking Spanish, she helps me so much with translation. She’s also a prayer warrior and a minister herself… and today she touched a lot of lives right alongside me. I’m truly blessed to have her with me.
Then the DJ climbed down out of his booth, looked at me with that big cross hanging around his neck, and said, “I pray for this club every single day.”
And then he said something I won’t forget…
“There was witchcraft up in here… and the Holy Ghost and I got rid of that.”
Now that’s an inside job.
Then the manager came all the way out to the car, took me by the hand, and personally walked me in.
And somewhere in the middle of all of that… I realized something else…
I’m walking well again.Around the entire club.Strength is coming back.Healing is happening.And God is still opening doors in dark places.
And so once again… love was delivered to the clubs.
And before we left, one precious woman asked, “Where is your church?”
What a beautiful question.
So with joy… we handed her a card to church and invited her to come drink from living water.
Because sometimes the greatest sermon ever preached…isn’t from behind a pulpit.
Sometimes it’s wrapped in cellophane… tied with purple ribbon… and handed over with love.
“Little children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18
