Hi, Pastor John:
I loved Saturday night! When we started throwing things on the floor, it put everything we are and do in its right perspective: at Jesus’ feet. All things are going to end up there sooner or later; sooner is better. While I was rolling on the floor, the Spirit was speaking to my soul and telling me, “There is no value in anything unless Jesus is in it”, and that especially includes us. But, with Jesus in us and operating in us with his Spirit, we are very valuable. Songs, testimonies, books, etc.; all is vain and empty without Jesus. As you have said, “It is form”!
While standing there, afterwards, the Spirit keep repeating in me, “all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, all your mind”, over and over. The more I said it, the better I was feeling. I was praying, “God, please show me what all my heart, mind, soul, and strength is”, because that is what is going to make me keep feeling the goodness of God.
When God reveals anything or does anything, though it may be little-by-little, as He wants us to know or experience, it is still with all His heart towards us.
