Pastor John,
I have been thinking about Wednesday night’s meeting all day. I love the mercy God shows all of us. I love what God molds us into. When we were reading Psalms last night, I kept thinking how I was a person who thought God did not do anything about sin and wickedness. I mocked God at times. I did not know the truth then because I did not know my Father or His judgment, but then Jesus re-created me and gave me a heart that fears Him and wants to seek His ways. That is so beautiful and full of mercy. This world will not get down on their face in a room full of people and let God touch them like J— did last night. This world will not stand up and share their hearts about the love for their wife like sweet Brother Jimmy did. I love hearing how Jimmy wants to be close to Debbie in Heaven. I ask Jesus all the time if Jerry and I can share a mansion and Michelle can live right next door.
I love what Jesus turns us into. There is nothing else I would want to be but mushy and sweet and wide open to share it. When I came to my first meeting seeking the holy ghost, Donna Nelson said our music was so genuine. That struck my heart that day and stayed with me. Now, every time I see how real Jesus makes us, it stirs deep down in my heart. Oh Praise God for making us real! Praise God for real feelings, and for new hearts to be what Jesus is making us be. Jesus is making us into what will please God. Whew! That takes my breath away today. Makes me want to lie on my face and let him cut and mold and shape me into whatever He pleases. I love that our brother stood up with tears and said, “I don’t want to be me.” What mercy that is from Jesus, to want to be better, to want to be more like Him.
I love His mercy ❤
Beth
