The King of Glory gave an audience to His daughters and welcomed them into His presence with joy. Their requests were important to Him, and they implored Him with urgency--avidly bringing their desires to His attention. These daughters lifted up requests and the King heard and rejoiced, for their requests were of His very heart: that He would continue to adopt new children, that He would protect His children around the world, and that He would send His children to find all that would come to Him.
In God's goodness, He brought me to fellowship with these sisters (though in human terms, they'd probably be more like my faith grandmothers...) this afternoon. What a beautiful opportunity to see and participate in the work of the kingdom with these faithful prayer warriors! After our prayer time, they listened and took notes as I shared with them my heart for Bulgaria and for the ministries my team is involved in. I know that these women will pray specifically for the things they wrote down while they listened, because as soon as I was finished, that's what they did! As I was leaving, our hostess reached out and held my arm, her eyes twinkling with joy, and she said, "My dear, this is a journey of delights!"
