So I was bored and there were a few episodes of Touched By an Angel on TV and I remember watching those as a lil kid so I decided to watch them. The first one I watched was absolutly incredible. It had the singer Wynonna Judd as as a guest star and at the end of the episode she sang Testify to Love which was amazingly powerful and the song, mixed with the episode's story line, drove me to tears. It hit my heart...I don't know why...but it did. The second episode was good but wasnt as powerful. But it did have one verse that stuck out to me. One of the characters in the show quoted a verse from the bible. "Vengeance is Mine, says the Lord." I didn't really think much of it then, but then just about half an hour ago, I listening to KTIS and Testify to Love started to play. Once again, it hit my heart. I figured that the Holy Spirit was trying to tell me something so I opened my bible, which I havent done in a while , and I opened up to Romans 12:19. Can you guess what that verse says? That's right. "Vengeance is Mine, says the Lord." I freaked. I asked Him, "What are You trying to tell me??" This is what He said.
Testify My love Katie. Don't worry about what happened in the past, what is happening now, or what will happen in the future. I will take care of that. Don't worry. Vengeance is Mine. You're only job right now is to witness and shout out My love and My mercy. Testify My love and everything will fall into place perfectly.
I felt so ashamed. I've been around so many people lately who don't believe in what Jesus did for them and they know I'm a Christian and yet I laughed along with the crude jokes and the dirty comments. I just have this total peace about the future now, especially with moving and going to my new school. God has given me ONE job to do. ONE job. I can do one job with out screwing up right? I don't have to worry about what college I'm going to, or what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I just need to focus on what is happening now and being a living testiment of who God truely is and He will do the rest. And I can still be the silly quirky Katie that everyone knows and loves (i think....lol) but I just need to remember, that joy is not for my personal gain but for the glory of God and showing people that He is not hateful God but a loving, joyful One who has neverending compassion for every single soul on this earth...including me, a worthless, bratty, dirty, selfish person. If He can have compassion on me, He can have compassion on anyone. No doubt that tonight was an eye-opener for me...
I truely believe that tonight I was not only touched by an angel, but by the Holy Spirit himself.
