His walk with his Lord Some weeks ago David and I were at the hospital spending time with Paul. We enjoyed our time together very much and laughed alot. David had decided to stay late with his uncle Paul and I decided to leave to go home. Before I left I asked Paul if he would like to have prayer. He said yes and rose out of his hospital bed. I was expecting him to sit up and grasp our hands for prayer but instead he began to kneel in the cold hospital floor. I said, "Paul, you don't have to do that." He said, "yes, I do. I want to kneel before my Lord." Out of all the sick people I've ministered to during hospital vistits I've never seen anyone come out of their bed to kneel in prayer. This let me know just how very deep his relationship with Jesus was and how much he held His Lord and Master in high esteem. I think we all could learn a valuable lesson from that. One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Paul kneeled with grace and humility and a heart of love and reverential awe. He truly set an example that day that I will never forget and will carry with me all the days of my life. I plan on following his example.
