Billy & Donna – last Night’s Reading

Hi, Pastor John:

I can feel that your book “God Had a Son before Mary did” is changing me on the inside. I am more thankful every time we read it. Sometimes, I am in awe of what God is showing us. He is so good to us and loves us so very much.

I love what Jesus said, “My Father hears me always because I do those thing that are pleasing in His sight.” God eyes are everywhere. The Spirit has been really dealing with me to take care of the small things in my daily walk with God. The big things are obvious, but it’s the little things (foxes) that can spoil the vine.

I can’t tell you how much this book is helping me. Since chapter 5, it’s seems my understanding is opening up. It makes me want to go back and read chapters 1-4 again. And I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the book and am praying for my understanding to be opened up in those pages, too. Whatever I understand, Jesus revealed it.

Hope you have a great week,
Billy

Good morning!

Reading section three from Chapter 6 in the Father and Son book left such a good feeling last night. There were two things that really stood out to me. One was that the Father heard and answered Jesus’ prayer and did give him a way out of being put to death on the cross, but that Jesus did not take it. The love of the Father, the love Jesus had for his Father, the love they both have for us is, well, it’s just huge! It is so big, that just to feel a touch of that love makes me feel very still and small. Who in this world is thinking on such things? Believing such a wonderful thing?

The second thing that stood out to me was going over the supposed “crimes” of Jesus. I love that part because it clears out wrong ideas about what Jesus was doing and saying while on this earth. He really was intent on doing his Father’s will, above everybody and everything, himself included.

Wow, who knew it? The Father had a son!
