Hi, Pastor John.
I am working today and thinking about how wonderful it felt Sunday, to be able to be down on my knees and to tell Jesus how thankful I am. Actually, I think Jesus told me how wonderful that is!
As I am over here feeling all these sweet feelings, and inspecting cars, I just had the thought that what is even worse than not being able to get down on your knees to Jesus when you feel him, is never feeling him like that at all.
I spent years in a hard pew, not moving, and reciting whatever they put before me and only one time did I feel something. When I did, a tear ran down my cheek and I immediately went to the restroom to avoid the suspicious stares I would receive for crying. That breaks my heart for all the other hearts that could be feeling Jesus pull them to their knees, or fill them with so much love that they can’t stand, or that tears fall.
I loved Michelle’s email today. Her heart matches my heart. I believe it matches Jesus’ heart. (See post: God’s Children 12/20/2023.)
