Rich and Sweet

Good morning Pastor John!

I love our life.  I love Jesus molding us and shaping us into what we he wants us to be. 

I was reading some of the things Jesus has given to you for the body.  One morsel after another.  As I read a Thought for the Day that was posted on Facebook, it was so rich and thick with God’s Truth, I felt like it was dripping off the page like honey.  I posted it, praying to the Lord that some broken soul read that and take it in.  Praying the sweet mercy of God, dripping off that page, would cover their heart.  It is so thick with the answer they need.  I needed it.  I was dying in sin and I had no idea God was real.  I had no idea I could cry out to Jesus and that he would answer.  Oh Pastor John, it is on my heart this morning to cry out for them. Lord cover them like honey, let your truth drip into their hearts!  That is all I see as I write you, thick golden honey.

I have often asked Jesus why His children are not rich like Solomon. Sometimes it seems like life is so hard just getting through the daily grind of making a living.

Lord, forgive me for ever asking such a foolish question.  I feel so rich and so privileged to be part of the body, to even get to eat of the food Jesus has provided.  Jesus has spread out a table of gold for us.  I read one after another this morning.  I don’t even have anymore words.  It is just so good and true and rich.

I had to share it with you.  The sweet mercy of God was too sweet to keep to myself.  It’s like winning the lottery and wanting to take care of all those you love. I feel like I won the lottery and just want to give it to the whole body.
