Pastor John,
Concerning a recent comment you made: “Midnight does not just turn into noon. It never has. It brightens into dawn, and in turn lightens into noon.”
Oh, how safe this makes me feel ! It is so true.
My life was so dark, so black. There were times I begged Jesus for death. How sweet God is to me. He granted that prayer. He put that dark life to death. Each day has gotten brighter. It has gotten sweeter. As my midnight turned to dawn, I began to see. A little at first , and more and more as Jesus gently brightens my life, holding my hand, and leading me to him. Every day Jesus shows me a little more. That dark life is so far away from me, it feels dead.
I am so thankful.
I have listened to the ” book of Acts” teaching CD, over and over today. Drinking in every word. What you said about ” midnight not just turning to noon” is so true. I often worry about being on track….being where Jesus wants me to be. That quote brings me peace. I feel the truth in it. I can just see Jesus coming to rescue me. Walking hand -and-hand into the light.
Whew! I wish I could attach these feelings, and email them to you. What you said went straight into my heart.
Beth
