Blessings in Disguise

How many of you have ever taken for granted an acquaintance only to find out later God placed them in your life for a reason? Today, I was running some errands and felt the need to stop by a friends house and leave my contact information. This friend, I have known for a short time and though our discussions have been somewhat limited; they have been truthful and fulfilling. This is a person though that I did not see in the light that I do now. God's timing is always perfect.

When he called me this evening, we talked for few hours. I have been praying for God to place people into my life that I can lean on, that I can trust and that love Him. After our discussions, I felt strongly that this is one of the primary reasons this person has been placed in my life. Our contact prior to this was limited but based on the fellowship this evening, there is a lot of room for growth between us and I pray that is what God intends to accomplish. In this, I am very excited. It couldn't have come at a better time either. Some will understand the timing on this better than others.

Prayer:
Lord, I want to thank you this evening for friends You place in our lives to help us when we are in need. Even those friends that we may not consider up to the task at hand based on our own understanding or lack thereof. I can not thank you enough for prompting me to contact this person. After talking with him, I learned this was an answer to his prayer as well. What a blessing in disguise. You never cease to amaze me Lord. Thank You for so much for everything You do in my life and the lives of everyone that believe on You. I lift up all my family and friends to You Father, continue to touch my life and bless me as well. Thank You for all You do on a daily basis. May my heart and spirit be sensitive to You always. Draw me close to You I pray, in Jesus name ~ Amen.
