I especially LOVE this quote from Wintley Phipps and distinctly remember when I first ran across it. My fiancé had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I knew the challenge in front of me and called upon the Lord for help. I returned to the beautiful hymn "It is Well with My Soul" and when I googled it, I stumbled upon a video of Wintley Phipps on youTube saying this before he sang the song. I remember the tears flowing, the spiritual release and God's comfort come over me like a warm blanket. There simply is NOTHING that can compare to the power of the Holy Spirit enveloping you through tears, and firmly planting you on solid ground again. Thank you for reminding me of this experience I had in late 2011. God bless you and your ministry!!Melanie in Kansas Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523003060160651512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314337119339520012.post-49141269102204301672012-08-24T14:18:20.237-04:002012-08-24T14:18:20.237-04:00Thank you, Glenda.

In sharing our pain, we embrace a world around us that is hurting. Sharing our joy in the midst of life's sufferings is always a miracle and testimony. Such was yours today. God bless you!
