Dying While Saving Others

Well, tonight I will be transparent with you as I finally was with the Lord.  I have been so consumed with sickness, situations at church, wrestling with peoples lack of commitment to God and I was dying on the inside.  I found myself cooking dinner for the family tonight and we baked cookies for the kids to decorate.  However the kids were in one of those moods tonight.  I began to get stressed and very tired.  I went to lay down for a little bit and while I was trying to rest and get my strength back the kids kept on being mischievous.  I woke up and realized that I had forgot to do something that should have been taken care of and was too late to do now.  I got very stressed over it and felt I needed to leave the house and go be alone.  I went to the church and prayed for some time and I began to realize that I needed help.  I had been helping everyone else, but I was bleeding to death spiritually while I was putting the uncut on everyone Else's wounds.  But I thank God that tonight I had a great time with the Lord other than a few family members God burdened my heart to pray for I didn't pray for you or anyone else.  I just prayed for myself.  Because I realized tonight that my salvation is more important than saving the world.  So if you find me tending to my wounds and not yours at any point it is because I realize that I can't save any lives until I have first saved my own.  Thank you God for the great visitation of your spirit tonight.  My apologies to the janitorial staff, I used a lot of tissue tonight.

Thank you Jesus for touching me tonight, I needed it and you knew it.

Humbly Submitted,
Pastor Troy G. Reynolds
