We chatted about life and events, ran through CO2 together, and spent some time in prayer before going our separate ways.
While we were sharing our initial thoughts together a particular person was brought to mind. I had a picture of a man in a suit of armour made of overlapping metal plates and completely impenetrable. As the man moved, just occasionally a small gap might appear here or there. But the gap lasted for just a moment and then it was gone again.And the Lord told me that only the sword of his Spirit is light, thin and fast enough to get into one of the momentary chinks. Paul pointed out that in this instance Roger is the sword. His role is to love the person and in time the Spirit will break them down. Love and kindness are the key to finding the necessary chink in the armour.
At this point we decided to work through Church of Two (CO2) to help us hear one another's hearts and also the Lord's heart.
Afterwards, Paul also mentioned that he had seen a waterall and I was standing at the top of it. I was looking over the edge and he wondered whether I was going to jump or not. He also mentioned the song 'Suddenly life had new meaning for me'.
This is all very encouraging. It adds again to the feeling I have that something new is about to happen suddenly in my life.
