Good morning, John,
Thank you for last night. I can’t imagine how much strength it takes to prepare and present what Jesus has for us (especially when you haven’t felt well). You have done it so well, and for so many years now, and I am saying from the bottom of my heart, “Thank you”. And thank you, Jesus, for giving us your best.
I was so overwhelmed with feeling the love of God last night. I wanted to speak, and I couldn’t open my mouth. All I could do was feel it, and let it overwhelm me.
I felt so thankful for good, pure food, and for having a heart that loved it and wanted to eat it! The more I ate, the stronger I felt it. The first song you sang, “I Want To Love Him More”, perfectly expressed my feelings because it is so true!
Then, when you sang “I Remember Dark Calvary”, I was thinking as you were singing the words that I possessed the very thing Jesus suffered and died for stirred up inside me, moving me! Jesus’ very life inside me! And I thought, “This is how you remember Calvary. It is not a thinking thing. It is stirring up the gift of God. It is letting His life that he suffered and died to give us be alive and move us”! And then you told us that very thing after you finished singing.
At the end when we were sitting around and it was quiet, I thought, “Have I valued what just happened here? Have I valued what you’ve done, Jesus? Did I take it in as fully as I could?”
These are precious times when we can be together. We are not promised another meeting. I know it takes so much from you physically when we get together, and you will not always be able to do that (can hardly even stand to type those words).
I felt the gravity of that last night when we were sitting there at the end. And I was hoping I valued you enough. That I valued fellowship enough. That I valued feeling the Spirit enough. That I valued what Jesus was offering us enough.
Love,
Lee Ann
