Hi Pastor John,
I loved the feelings Sunday. The message was wonderful! I’m like Gary, you said the message was for the young but I took in every word! It was so good!
It went right along with some things I’ve been experiencing lately. It is a part of life, things are going to happen that will hurt you, disappoint you or things just don’t go your way. For a couple of weeks I have felt like it’s been a one – two boxing match with things coming up. I would pray and cry to Jesus. I kept asking him, “Jesus, what do you want from me?”
Saturday morning I woke up early with a heavy heart. I got my coffee and just had some quiet time with Jesus. I was talking with him and telling him how heavy and burden I felt, then the sweetest thing happened! My heart started flooding with all that Jesus has blessed me with. I started thanking him for each one. I started walking around my house thanking him for the truth and the understanding he has given to us, for our Pastor who feeds us food we never have to pick through, for giving my husband the holy Ghost, for our home, our food, our clothes, our health, our family, There was so much, Pastor John. Jesus really does care, even down to the smallest detail, he cares. My heart was so heavy when I started but so light when I finished. The whole day, and since, my soul has felt rest.
That is what Jesus wanted from me, a thankful heart and to remember Him, in everything and every situation. Remember He is it! He loves and cares for us very much, through all our times, good and bad.
