However when Sawubona comes from the Lord's lips He really does see us, not the outward presentation given by us. Isn't it great that we can come into the presence of the Lord and be totally honest with Him. I may not, yet, be able to say "Sawubona" literally to Christ Jesus but what a wonderful hope we have that one day before Him we will say it.

I think it's important to listen long enough for them to feel you are interested,but explain then that you also need to see someone else.<br />But isn't it great that the Lord isn't bound by time? He has all the time in the world for us. What grace!Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-64749825812572554382014-04-11T11:54:14.932-07:002014-04-11T11:54:14.932-07:00Thanks Christine.

It is reminiscent of another lesson I learned.<br /><br />When you enter a room, is your attitude "Here I am" or "There you are"?<br /><br />One assumes that everyone is waiting for you.<br />The other assumes that you are looking for others.<br /><br />It all depends on point of view.Judith Roblhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896616623573839165noreply@blogger.com
