A Friend Met Me at the Corner
During my morning devotion, I prayed for a release from the anxiety that was pressing me about the approaching birth of my fiction novel: A Complicated Love Song. Upon leaving my home to begin my morning two-mile walk through the neighborhood, something happened out of the ordinary. There were no cars passing and no people moving about. As I walked towards the corner, the sky was a brilliant blue and my body was being warmed by the sun and the Son.
When I reached the end of the block and pointed my body to the left, the Comforter met me at the turning point. The all-consuming elation was like a cocoon and it engulfed me. I was overcome with unspeakable joy and also contentment.
As we walked along, my voice box was frozen, so I lifted my hands and waved my arms to show appreciation. It felt as though I was walking with my best friend and never had I felt so protected. I was so grateful and it was reassuring to know that the Holy Spirit had actually taken a little time to walk with me.

I was elated as I read your writing about your walk with the Holy Spirit. It is always refreshing to know that people you love truly love Jesus too. As, I read your writings of how you felt protected by the Holy Spirit. I truly understand because I have been developing a closer walk with Jesus too . It’s good to know Jesus left so that the comforter will come to help and protect us. How good is that especially when life can be so challenging sometimes . I’m so proud of you that you have stepped out of self to let God use you in expressive writing . I wish you sucess in your book. Love your cousin and Sister in Christ Linda Moore
