Two years ago I was asked to pray for someone I had never met.
Now you may immediately think that we need to know in what way they feel like this to be able to pray for them but that is not so. Even though we may not have details, God knows them and understands them better than anyone else ever can.
I prayed for this girl and prayed for the person who I knew would have most contact with her because they would need to know God's guidance in this situation.
I knew that I really could not do much more than pray for this person but I longed to be able to reach out in some other way so I prayed about that also.
Each morning Fred & I would pray about this situation after breakfast and then about a month later one day we were driving along in the car listening to some music when suddenly we heard a song that we had never listened to before but instantly it drew my attention.

There was something about the tune that was special but really it was the words that captured me.
The song was called "Not Guilty Anymore" by Aaron Keyes.
I just kept clicking back to the start of the song so that we heard it over and over again.
Most of the worship songs we sing are of our feelings towards God but this was a song more like God talking to us.
It's a song that seeks to help us get out of the negative thinking and into that positive realm of realising just exactly what God has done for us and what it means to be on the receiving end of His great mercy.
Do you know how God views you?
We need to know how He sees us because of His Mercy to us through Jesus.
If you are a child of God, you have already received His mercy so believe and trust in that because you are not guilty anymore through the blood of Jesus.
If you have not repented of your sins and accepted God's forgiven and salvation then He still wants you to know that His mercy and salvation is offered to you. He wants you to come to the place in your life where He can tell you that you're not guilty anymore.
I felt that God had given me this song at this time to be able to pass it on to this person we had been praying for to let her know how special she was to God. So I looked up Aaron Keyes on YouTube and got the link for the song and passed it on not a hard thing to do but a difference was made.

I'd like to pass it on to you here as an encouragement especially for you because YOU are special to God too.
I had also been asked to speak at a ladies meeting later that year and had felt God impressing Mercy on me as my topic so I'm sure you can guess that I ended with this song that evening too.
