The night was the first night of the youth revival at Greater St. Stevens church. Vicky was excited about going, since she had heard how powerful the meetings were. Here friend Mike belong to the church and had previously invited her. I wonder if someone will notice that I’m not an on fire Christian. Well I can’t worry about that, because God knows me and know my heart. Oh I am so excited to come here tonight I feel God all in this place. Mike enters the room dressed in kaki pants and a polo shirt with the church logo on it. He spots Vicky wearing a blue summer dress with low sandals on her feet. Have you found a place to sit? No not really I was waiting for you. I thought that we could sit together since I’m not familiar with this church. Oh you will get use to it. I seem to love it very much. Who is the speaker for tonight? His name is Jonathan Bells; he is the youth pastor for Union Street Baptist church. He is a wonderful speaker and a great spiritual leader. You know he has a very good discernment. I hope that he doesn’t pick up anything on me. Why did you say that Vicky? I am not sure that I am the person that God had called me to be.
We all have a lot to work on, and it doesn’t happen overnight. We have to continue studying his word and spending time with him. It’s not hard to do you know, I have been slack in that area, because I have cheerleader practice, drama practice, and student government meetings to go to. I can’t keep up the pace sometimes. Vicky you have to make time, because he continually makes time for us. I’m going to try harder. The service stared and the minister Bells is speaking on what did we leave behind. . We get caught up in our religious experiences that we forget how we arrived at that point and who took us there. It made me think that God really has emotions and that he cares enough about how we are feeling that he begins to weep when we weep, That was so profound I went home and got our my blue bible and began reading. I realize that I haven’t been true to God so I kneel down beside my bed and prayed. I told God what was really in my heart. That night I must have cried all night, He delivered me from depression, anxiety, and shame. I went back the next night and it was good/ Pastor Bless had such an impact on my life so I was willing to make a change. I went up for alter call, and rededicated my life to God. It was wonderful. I could not wait to tell Mike the good news. Mike came over to my house and he was wearing blue jeans and a white muscle shirt. It was a clear and breezy night. I opened the door and as he entered I felt the presence of God on him. I told him all about what happen the last night of the meeting. He was thrilled to hear all that God had done for me and through me I thanked God for everything. Thanks for a rekindle fire and a chance to have a closer walk with God. I just want you to know I took the chance and I’m never turning back.
