Grace Journey

The Lord has been full of grace to His children. I have been enjoying His grace in a very special way especially when I travel for the ministry of the word. This time, after the meeting in Aizawl, as I was on my way to the next destination, Dimapur, I enjoyed a gracious journey.

When I booked the flight ticket from Aizawl to Dimapur a month ago, I had a last-minute change of flight which was due to the fare. When I was about to board that flight I met a sister in the church life who was also boarding the same flight. Had I not made the change of flight before I booked, this traveling together for fellowship would not have happened. The flight duration was short and we were in different seats. When we landed at Guwahati airport, we decided to take a cab together as my destination was the same way as her college hostel. 

The day being Monday and the time being afternoon, I was able to attend the 4:00 pm fellowship online for the serving ones in the distribution. Once I finished the online fellowship, I had more than an hour to fellowship with the sister on some crucial spiritual aspects of the Christian life.  In fact, the highway the cab plied was under heavy traffic jams and that gave us even more time to fellowship.

This sister being a young sister and being in a college, I testified of how the Lord blessed me in my studies and how the Lord preserved me from many distractions of the world on the college campus. I fellowshipped with her as my younger sister in the Lord how she needed to spend time with the Lord in prayer and in the word every day. And how she needed to trust the Lord for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding while at the same time working as hard as she could in her studies. 

Through the fellowship, she too realized that the Lord loves and cares for her. In fact, she has not attended a good number of church meetings for some reason or the other. But she could not escape the Lord's hand following her to shepherd her.  In fact, while I was at Aizawl she did not attend the Lord's day meeting and she missed the message released on that day.  She also confessed that she hardly joined any church meetings. Now that on her way to her college hostel, for over an hour, the Lord had to speak to her about some basic Christan life practices. The Lord has been gracious to her to meet her and speak to her through the sovereign travel plan that coincided with mine. I do believe, she has truly been shepherded. As her name is, her experience is, Grace.

In fact, after the fellowship, she also acknowledged her need to give time to the Lord on a daily basis at least for prayer time, Bible reading, morning revival, and church meetings. She even gave a word to me as a witness that she would begin a new life with the Lord keeping all the points of fellowship in view. I was glad to hear that she could discern what the Lord is telling her. I trust the Lord that His grace is abundant upon her and she will enjoy the Lord's gracious visitation and enjoy the Lord as her grace. As her name is, so shall her enjoyment of the Lord be; grace.

It was indeed a grace journey for the gracious life of a sister.
