I was rummaging through my files when he called. The phone rang and a cheerful but calm “Hello” followed. My pastor…
Having carried out burdens for the past 2 months has put a distance between me and God, so a call from him really surprised me. Yet his voice was far from being judgmental. I could sense he was trying to hug me through the telephone.
Then it happened. Tears started rolling and before I could hold on, I started crying like a child. Yet it was a cry of relief. Like a wandering sheep rescued by the shepherd. He gently lifted me up from the hole and wiped off my worries.
Thanks for being there, silently praying for me. Praise the Lord!
