So Grateful To Be in the Family of God

This morning I was struggling with something, a lot of things, I guess, plus I had not slept well. All night kept waking up out of a dream where something wasn't adding up, and leaving me feeling frustrated and restless. My body was fighting something off that had given me chills yesterday morning, so that may have had something to do with it. But it was real perceptible, like a dark cloud. I don't know. Don't want to be overly analytical or spiritualize too much. Just want to say I could not shake it, but as we entered into worship and the presence of the Lord became so real, I tell you the thing lifted. It broke and it left and I just thank God for His mercy and grace and love and healing power, and the beauty of the body of Christ. We may not be deeply involved in each other's life at intimate levels all the time but we are connected on the level that means the most -- our immortal soul - and the fellowship of the believer and the unity and the bond of peace that we share is irreplaceable and I just want to say I am so grateful to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for you faithfulness to Him. So grateful to be in the family of God.
