Encouraging A Sister Through Hospital · Sunday 17 May 2026

Us encouraging each other, you know. I believe it was Paul who said in Romans, about we encourage, and he was saying, I don't know who he was, I can't remember who he was talking to, but he was saying that, you know, they encourage him, and he encourages them, you know, the disciples, yes, the disciples who were converted at that time, and it was encouraging one another, as believers, and this week, I had the opportunity to do that on a group that I joined, and there was this woman, she was in hospital, and I can't remember what sickness she has, but it's something that, I believe it makes her stiff, so it makes all the muscles and everything stiff, so she was saying that, you know, she couldn't walk and all of these things, and she was asking for prayer, but you can hear in her voice, you know, as she was talking, you can hear that she has that love for the Lord, but she's just overwhelmed by what is happening to her at that moment, so when she was, she was live on video, so when she was live on video, you can see that she was in hospital at that point in time, and as she spoke, other people spoke and encouraged her, and, you know, I just reflected on that, I was like, wow, Lord, you are the God in the middle, you know, He's the beginning, the end, but He's in the middle of the situation what we are going through, and oftentimes, you know, as believers, we might not only forget, but because everything is clouding, you can't see clearly, you know, who you are to be in that moment, so I was able to, by the Lord, you know, to encourage her and to remind her who she is, you know, as a child of God, you know, she's in there, but it doesn't mean that that's the end, you know, because God is the end, He's the beginning and the end, and He is in the middle where you are, and, you know, in that, it was to encourage her to shine, that's what the Holy Spirit said to me, to remind her to shine to others, because what she would have tasted, the goodness of God, before she ended up there, that's what she ought to shine to others who are in there in the hospital right now, to the nurses and the doctors, et cetera, so while she is in the situation, let us not forget to shine, you know, and to shine His love, even in the tears, we shine, and it really encouraged her, you know, so let us not forget to encourage one another, because sometimes what's going on can crowd, or cloud, not crowd, cloud our eyes, you know when you wake up in the morning and you have to rub your eyes, you know, to see your vision to become into focus, you know, some people sometimes love it as rubbing, to get the vision of Christ back into focus, and I just want to leave us with, you know, Isaiah 43, where it talks about, you know, that when the waters and the rivers come, it will not overtake you, you know, because God has always been in the middle of everything, and I don't say that, but I'm just saying this is what I understand, you know, He is the only God, and there's no other but Him, so we give God glory. Thank you.
