I've just seen Jesus

Each and every comment, each and every email, each and every phone call has been such a blessing to me since this trial began. This morning, I received an email from a first time visitor to my blog, an unknown blogger wrote to share words of encouragement and experiential truth. Although many of you are unknown to me, I recognize you....you have the heart of Jesus. It ocurred to me as I was sitting in stunned silence, that I have indeed, just seen Jesus. Your words have reminded me once again, I am not in this alone. Jesus loves my prodigal, he loves me--and He sees us!!!!!

My grief has no room in my heart as it rejoices, much like Mary of Magdelene and the other Mary must have felt as they approached the tomb of Jesus and he was not there.

During a time that it is normal to feel such isolation, such sadness, such despair--I have discovered in a very real way--that Jesus is right here with me. Even though the darkness of the tomb is evident, the struggle of the past days very real.....I have "seen the Lord!"

Just as the Mary's were compelled to share this great news with their friends, sit back with me and listen to Sandi Patti and Larnel Harris as they sing this very beautiful song. Be touched! Be blessed! As you have blessed me! Thank you for your willingness to reach out to another; for your faithfulness in being "Jesus with skin on!" What a difference He truly makes in our lives. While we may feel trampled by the circumstances of our life--because of Jesus, we will never be the same....again!

I've just seen Jesus
I tell you He's alive!
I've just seen Jesus
Our precious Lord alive
And I knew, He really saw me too
As if 'til now, I never lived
All that I've done before
Won't matter anymore
I've just seen Jesus........and I'll never be the same again!
