Pastor John,
I have always loved something well written. Not necessarily in an intellectual sense but in a thought-provoking, can the writer take me with them sense.
I heard the tract Jezreel* yesterday and as I heard the Mizpeh Conference by Preacher Clark, I thought of how well written it is. How well written the tracts are. I have always thought Uncle Joe wrote well also.
I was talking to Jesus this morning about the bible/OT and how much I love the shadow of him in it. No one can write like God!
When I was a little girl, I loved to read and my favorite books were adventure books that I got to choose on my own . The reader could choose which ending to read. I always loved that because then the story did not end as quickly, there was more to the story!
Not only did God write a story within a story but He knew that hearts would be created with His spirit and that when they read His story, He would talk to them and give them new thoughts and feelings over and over again. Who but God can write a book that you can never finish reading!
There are always feelings and thoughts available! A story, not every reader will see or feel but the ones He chooses will! And the ones He chooses can go to a place in the story with God at different times.
It’s poetic and beautiful and has love, adventure, mystery, etc.! God gave us everything!
I sincerely love how God writes. I pray I get to tell Him that one day in person. I have a running list of all the things He is so wonderful about that I daydream about getting to tell Him!
