I'm thankful. A sister called me today needing encouragement. I was actually surprised to hear her voice since we don't talk much, and I did not know she consider me a source of encouragement or a partner in her walk with Christ. Our conversation lasted roughly 15 minutes. I allowed her to be and say what she needed to say, then I presented to her what the Lord gave me to share with her. We ended with prayer. To God be the Glory for encounters with unexpected opportunities, these are close encounters. Many times we schedule or pre-plan moments of opportunity. I love those close encounters. The kind that catch us by surprise and bring refreshing replenishing renewal. Especially for me as a woman of God. We are so often ministering, but when opportunity brings close encounters, it creates an atmosphere where healing, deliverance, comfort, and peace are transferable and we walk away full of strength to continue through. What about you? Have you experienced a close encounter lately?
