Holding Hands With God

My usual routine since January of 2007 is going to impact harvest church. It's a simple youth church that makes people feel like they're within' a warm family that supports and loves them. When I first started coming frequently, I didn't know whether or not I would be very into something like this and whether or not a breakthrough will occur for me as it is our main theme this year. Today, however, a breakthrough did occur. We were worshipping God by singing, like usual, and out of nowhere, my right hand started to get numb and sort of warm. I remembered someone telling me something about how when a person's body gets numb (like a part of your body or the whole body), it usually means that the Holy Spirit is working in them. I realized that God must have been holding onto my right hand because I heard His voice saying to me, "My Child, let go of the burden you hold in your heart and I will heal your heart for you. Just let go..." That amazed me so much and I whispered back to Him, "Lord, I praise you. Thank You. You are so amazing. You are my Savior." After the worship, we listened to a sermon from Paster Peter. After the sermon, we all prayed for him, to bless him, because he's heading to Indonesia. So we all put our hands up in the air to pray for him and afterwards he asked us to stand up and sing a song, the last song of the day, in honor of God. During this worship, I felt that my right hand was moving by itself. At first, I thought it was a glitch because sometimes people's bodies tend to flinch because of a nerve or something else. But it kept moving, shaking from side to side, and I realized that the Holy Spirit was working my right hand again.

I'm going to plainly state that that was one of the most touching experiences I've ever came across throughout my years of knowing God. Now I feel like I know Him a bit more than before and I just want to thank God for using Joy to bring me back to His house.
