Pastor John,
The past couple of weeks I feel like Jesus has just been carrying me. With experiences and feelings, in a way, it’s almost felt like taking a step off a cliff at times. But I wanted to share with you two things that have happened over the past couple of days that have really stood out to me and have really given me relief.
For years, I have asked the question, Who am I? or What am I supposed to be doing? With those questions was a little fear because I guess I was scared of what the answer may be. But the other night, I asked the question, and the Jesus answered simply, “You’re mine.” It was so simple, but it brought so much relief!
Then last night, I was asking him some questions, and I heard, “Trust me.” Several times this happened as I was walking around, doing things in my house. Then, as I was about to get into bed, I was asked a question: “Do you trust me?” It stopped me in my tracks. It made me think of Peter when Jesus asked him if he loved him. I said Jesus, “I don’t know, do I trust you? If I don’t, please help me!”
All night, I just thought about Jesus. I woke up around 4 AM, just thanking him, then fell back to sleep. When I woke up, Jesus was my first thought. Driving into work, all I keep thinking is, “It’s Jesus. That’s it, just Jesus.”
It was just really simple, sweet thoughts.
