COUNSELOR on Duty

For to us a Child is born
to us a Son is given,
and the government shall be upon His shoulders.
His name shall be called
Wonderful
COUNSELOR.....
Isaiah 9:6a


Being given your own private counselor is a gift without measure. Don't know about you, but I've needed one on more occasions than I want to admit. What was needed was someone I could trust. An honest, merciful listener. The wisdom of Solomon. Who didn't mind if I cried all the way through the conversation. Not judgemental, but fair. Patient. Kind. Able to break through my scattered thoughts and get to the heart of it all. Most of all...I needed to talk to someone who loved me and would tell me the truth. Lately, I've needed that once again.

I must quickly admit that I have a Personal Counselor, the one referred to in the scripture. He has no initials before or after His name. He needs none.

I can trust Him without a doubt. He is always listening. He is wisdom. He let's me cry and He is
tenderly patient. He already knows everything I am telling Him and He loves me despite my fear, frustrations and failures. He doesn't roll His eyes or check His watch. I'm the focus of His attention and He is always available. He always has my best interest in mind. By Him I am completely loved.

There truly is a Counselor like this. He is the Savior of the universe. He is wonderful.

Talking with Him brings peace and direction and all the followups I need. He is available right now.....do you need Him?
