I Begged God To Show Me A Way I Can Go

Hey! Okay so today was the conference where I accepted Christ as my Savior last year and I couldn’t go because of this wedding and no one in my church is going. I was crying all day today because I wanted to go back and experience everything once again. I could have went with the people I met there last year because I became really close to them this year but my parents said no. I’m so sad because July 18 is the day I accpeted Christ during that conference and I wanted to go back and experience it with all the people I met there. That would be a great 1st sprirtual birthday. But no. I’m so sad right now. I even begged God to show me a way I can go, but now it’s too late. I’m crying so much right now. I really wanted to go because that was the most special event that ever happened in my life.

My dear sweet sister:
You have touched my heart so deeply with your genuine desire to go and celebrate your birthday with the LORD and all the special people he had invited to share this miraculous event with you. It saddens me that for one reason or another you were not able to make it and that this has caused you so much pain.
The one thing I can assure you of is that God is with you always and wherever you are. There is a promise I always hang on to which is recorded in Heb 13:5 “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you”.
I don’t want to minimize your pain or disappointment because I am so much like you about special moments. I want so much to value them and be able to celebrate them by going back to where they began.
All I can say is that you will have many opportunities to celebrate milestones the Lord does in your life and you will have to make them happen somehow since they are a priority to you.
Please let me pray for you right now so you can be comforted by the only ONE who can do that on the spot.
Father in heaven, truly YOU are the desire of our hearts and our special moments with you compare to nothing else. You know my sister’s heart and the pain it has caused her not to be able to go back and celebrate the most special day of her life with YOU. I plead with YOU to please have mercy on her and extend your loving arms around her so that she may know that even though she didn’t get to that specific place, YOU met her where she was. Thank YOU for saving her and for loving her like YOU do. In the Precious Name of your Son Jesus is that we pray.
amen?
I love you sister….
