Hey John,
Sunday when I was in Bob’s vineyard picking grapes, I was chewing on what you said to us Saturday night. I am so thankful to be able to have eyes to see and ears to hear these things that you are teaching us, and it is amazing that we have been chosen out of this whole world to hear and understand it.
Anyway, while thinking this, I had this thought come to me, which had sweet feelings with it too. It was, “You believed the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” — and that was it! It was the phrase that people say when they put their hand on the bible in court, but the word is tell instead of believed (Do you swear to tell the whole truth, etc.) It felt like the spirit was letting me know why I am here, and everyone else too. It was a sweet thought I wanted to share.
Thanks!
Cathy B.

Thanks Cathy. You are right. It is such a great blessing for Jesus to open our hearts to what the Spirit is saying. His mercy is why any of us are “here” together in spirit. The truth of the gospel creates among us a fellowship that the world cannot understand. I pray we walk worthy of the Lord so that he will continue to bless us as he has all these years.
