John,
I wanted to thank you for feeding us, last night and today.
This morning’s message especially was truly “living” water to my soul. I feel I am different after today. I do feel your prayer was answered, for food. I was fed. I truly was.
The word of God touched me today. I feel that God created in me today, through your word from God, a deeper love for Jesus. To put aside such things that may hinder the process of knowing him. I don’t feel I have “big” adjustments to make, it’s not a weight. I simply feel like deep in my heart I want to learn more, to know the doctrine better, to read the scriptures, and to know his ways more. It’s such a tender call I feel… an invitation. I am excited for where Jesus can take me as I do what you say, and see where I am six months from now. That was so real.
On the way home from lunch today, Ellen drove home and I sat in the back seat (which is rare). I looked out the windows through my sunglasses into the sunshine, and started to weep because of where I am. I don’t mean only the “location”, but for the what the Spirit does for me and the spirits that surround me in your home. In the car, our family felt different, and satisfied. I did not have any words to express my feelings; it overflowed in tears with joy. It was just a love of this truth, and what it has done to me.
And thank you for your caution today about taking care of the place God has given me. I feel like that stuck very deeply, and you gave me good ammunition on how to do just that. I want to spend time with Jesus, in the Spirit, for the good of his people and so that He does not worry about me. That is what today’s message did for me.
I hope you get lots done on your trip John.
Gary
