Devine

It is amazing how God works in my life. He is my Lord and I feel His love and presence all the time.   I remember several years ago.  I was listening to a Sunday homily in a small church in Galveston.  The priest mentioned how we all have an amber inside us... waiting to be fanned to become a bright light...a fire in us.  Faith is the amber inside us... as you speak about it, it gets more power and soon it brings us to places we've  never been.  It may be physical, spiritual or emotional.  People around me feel the positivity it brings to me. 
Last night, I was doing my usual postop visit rounds during my tour of duty in this great hospital I work at.  It was around 8:30 at night and so I thought I had to hurry bec. I had few more patients to visit before bedtime....As looked throught the room numbers, I noticed a name "Devine" and I thought, to myself: "My!  What a name!" Then I realized I had to interview him about his satisfaction w/ our services.  The door was opened all the way but I knocked and asked if I could come in.  I heard a faint noise; kind of struggling voice saying "come on in?"  I was not sure.  Little did I know I was to have a great encounter with him. All around him were books about God's word, including Qoran.  His computer was open and he was reading something about "Reciprocity".  So I started to interview him thinking I'd get straight answers about his satisfaction with his care and he answered in a very slowmatter of fact  and quiet way, I thougth I should have just left for I was gonna waste my time arguing with him... but because I saw all the books around him and the laptop, and how he gazed at me like a dazed sick scholar, I thougt I should stay longer and ask him what he was up to.  He shared with me new thoughts and input about the bible and I was so amazed I stayed for a whole 20 mins and talk about God.  In the end, instead of me praying for him, he was opraying for me and he said The Lord needed to bless me, guide me, and protect me for I am very special.  Tears were running down my cheeks for I was so touched.  After his lengthy prayer, I offered my prauers for his healing and we both ended the prayer with praising God and proclaiming his almighty power forever and ever; AMEN!.  I thought he was like a needle in a haystock that I chanced upon.  Word of advice, he said:  Read The letter from Jude and Revelation 22:18.
