I recently received an email, from an old friend. They wrote to share their journey, their story! As I read their story, I was brought to tears! The personal adversity they faced. The loneliness that accompanied their trials! Trying to find answers to questions that appear to be unanswerable! Where do I go? Who can I trust? Is there anyone out there whom I can trust with my story! God, what am I suppose to do? In the midst of their darkest hour, God showed up! His question, Are you ready?...Really God? What kind of question is that? Are you ready? After some deep thought, my friends answer...YES I AM READY!! From this point, God began to do what God does best! From this point, my friends circumstances began to change! My friend was healed, their eyes were able to see God from a fresh perspective! Their faith grew and their love for God increased! You might ask yourself, How could a story like this bring you to tears? Its a story of victory! God conquered the problem, God revealed more of Himself to your friend! Isnt that point of the story? To be encouraged by what He is able to do? Why would you cry? I cried because in the midst of celebrating what God had done, God spoke to me! He said, My answer always is, I am...ready! Ready to heal and reveal! because that is who I am. All of a sudden, I understood the question, Are you ready? Are we ready to be who we are suppose to be? As the church, we need to be ready. To be people who are safe, so that others can let their stories out!. To be a people who extend dignity, honor, and respect to others! This was my friends story, yet hidden in the story, was a lesson for me! God revealed Himself to me through my friends story! Everyone of us has a story! Yet, until we are ready to be who we are suppose to be, the stories will go untold! The hidden treasures of Heaven contained within each story, will never reach earth! I want to encourage everyone who has read this post, ask yourself the question,, ARE YOU READY to be the church God has asked us to be? and if you have a story to share! We at Ground Zero want to encourage you to share with us, your story! Blessings to all of you! Stewart
