Today a dear servant of God has passed, Dr. Charles Stanley.My heart is broken yet I am smiling, thinking of him being with Jesus.

The first book I read of his was WAITING ON GOD. Through this book, Dr. Stanley taught me how to meditate, get in God’s word, wait for his direction and listen for the prompting of the Holy Spirit or as I like to call it The Whisper Within.

My life has been anything but easy. My ex became a paraplegic 20 years ago when I had two little kids.

Through waiting on God and listening for his direction, God orchestrated a life that I can’t even imagine and I’m so grateful for.

So so thankful that nightly I could watch Charles Stanley’s YouTube sermons. His soft voice gave me peace and his words of wisdom gave me daily direction.

My favorite quote of his was,”Obey God and leave all the consequences to him.”

Charles will continue to make disciples of all nations through his ongoing ministry!

Praise God! I can only imagine Jesus welcoming him at the gate and saying, “Hello Charles! My good & faithful servant !”
