Crying like babies

The other day I took the wrong turn off while being in another city and I was driving towards an area where an old friend of mine was living. We had a very deep friendship in the past and also ministered together for years. But something happened and our relationship came to a halt. It was not a good thing and inside I knew, that I had to do something about it.

While driving along on the highway, many thoughts ran through my mind. "Will he tell me off? What if only his wife is home? Is reconciliation possible? Should I call or just go and visit without calling? Are they still living there? What is going to happen?" Inside I felt the Lords gentle nudge and I just knew I had go go there and that he was in control and would let good things come out of it.

So I stopped at their house and many good memories came up. I had been visiting them very often. I knew the house, we ministered there and had wonderful fellowship. It was all so familar and yet it had been years, since we last met after the incident that led to our split of the relationship.

There was a young boy playing in the garden. I did not know him, but thought that it must be their last child that I had seen as a Baby. So I introduced myself to him and asked if his parents were home. He was very polite and said that he would go and get them.

My heart was pounding and I did not know what to expect! When my old friend came out the house and saw me standing there, he just burst into tears, ran towards me and we were just hugging each other and crying like babies. His wife came as well and we all just stood there held each other and cried and cried and cried...

We got reconciled that day and not only that, but something knew started and although the years have passed by and we are not the same anymore and the situation is not the same anymore, something very deep started and we are a blessing for each other and build the same Kingdom together!
