Pastor John,
This morning, driving in to work, I was listening to Gary sing “When those feelings come”. The spirit fell, and I began to thank Jesus for letting me feeling him. I felt that sweet quivering up and down my arms, and my heart was overwhelmed. Then Jesus put a prayer in my heart for J—, E—, S—, T—, M— and others who have gone astray. Then I heard the spirit say, “Remember.”
Memories of when I fell away from the Lord, and how I longed to feel him again, flooded my mind and heart. I remembered how I would lie in bed at night crying because I missed feeling his touch; my heart would just ache. I asked Jesus to please let their hearts ache for him, to long for his touch again. I started praying for all God’s children, thinking of how glorious it would be if we could all be together. It was very sweet to have those sobering feelings this morning.
When I got off the shuttle, there was an older gentleman standing by the curb, and when I walked by, he smiled and said, “Have a glorious day!” I thought, yes, Jesus makes it glorious!
