LastCall: mourning into dancing -Joyce Meyer

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.   
— 
Psalm 30:11 

On a Friday morning in February 1976, I was frustrated and desperate. I was trying to do everything the church said I should do and everything I thought God required of me, but nothing seemed to be working and I was quite disheartened. I knew I needed change in my life, but I wasn’t sure exactly what change I needed. I knew I was searching, but I wasn’t sure what I was searching for. 

That morning, I cried out to God and told Him I couldn’t go on any longer. I remember saying, “God, something is missing. I don’t know what it is, but something is missing.” 

To my surprise, He spoke to me in what sounded loud enough to be His audible voice, calling my name and talking to me about patience. From that moment on, I knew He was going to do something about my situation. Later that day, in my car, Jesus filled me with the presence of the Holy Spirit in a way I had never before experienced. The best way to describe the feeling is to say I felt someone had poured liquid love into me. I immediately noticed newfound peace, joy, and love resting inside me and flowing out of me, and everyone around me noticed positive changes in my behavior as I began to love others as I never had before. 

I got up that morning feeling as though everything had come to a discouraging end. I went to bed that night knowing I was at a place of new beginnings. God often works this way; He speaks and moves suddenly in our lives. Don’t grow weary of waiting on God because today may be your day for a “suddenly.”
