2 Chronicles 16:1-17:19; Ezekiel 37:1-28; John 15:1-16
For I long to see you…that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Rom. 1:11-12
Having breakfast before my flight to speak at a weekend family retreat, an elderly stranger asked me what I was eating. I soon learned that he was a believer from a restricted country where they must secretly gather. I told him it was a privilege to meet him. He put his hand over his heart and said it was a privilege to meet me. Our mutual faith and oneness in Christ knit our hearts like Paul’s to the Romans. The Lord blessed and encouraged both of us with this divinely appointed meeting. He ever watches over us. Thankful! —George Ferrier
There shall be showers of blessing: this is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing, sent from the Saviour above. —Daniel W. Whittle
