John:
It’s late Saturday night and I find myself reflecting over the events of the weekend. I felt like Jesus had a great desire to touch as many as would be touched, and I’m so glad that many were. How sad I felt for anyone not there, especially for those who could have been there but chose to be elsewhere. That made me hurt, thinking of how it must have made Jesus feel. It was like he was offering a very personal gift of himself and that it was discounted by some as less important than other things.
Saturday night’ s meeting was wonderful to me because so many were receiving his love and being touched, especially the younger ones. How that must have made Jesus feel!
I want Jesus to know that I appreciate the mercy, patience, and love he has shown me more than ever. I am so thankful for the wonderful people Jesus has put in my life and who love him. Can I ever appreciate enough the countless things Jesus has done for me and the rest of us wherein I find myself rejoicing in what he did in the meeting here tonight?
