Dear Bro. John:
I heard a best-selling author say something today on TV that touched my heart. What he said reminded me of November 2006 when the Lord said to me, “Let’s fall in love again.” This author, talking about prayer, said, “We want the answers, but God wants the intimacy. He wants you!” That really struck a cord in my heart as I remembered searching for the “answer” that November 18th, 2006. I entered my apartment that day thinking I was going to seek for answers. 🙂 That would have been “hard-seeking”, and Jesus knew it. So, he tenderly led me down the “heart-seeking” path of love and feelings in Song of Solomon. His intimacy removed the need for answers! His love was the answer! When He took me to where I needed to be, it was just Him waiting there! I found Him in the feelings, in the memories of my relationship with Him. I found Him in the intimacy of His love. He came that day and sat right down beside me . . . . and once again captured and conquered my heart. There was no need for words. I was happy just to rest in His arms once again and feel the sweetness of His Presence. Praise God!
On April 3, 2009, you said this in a gathering: “If you have a problem, forget about it. If you have a blessing, forget about it. It’s HIM! Your testimony is not as good as HE is!” Well, Amen! There is no need to be afraid to surrender to His love. Forget about your problem, forget about your blessing, forget about your answer. Just be thrilled with Jesus! Nothing is as good as He is!
Heart-seeking = intimacy with God!
Forever thankful for His love,
Sandy 🙂
“And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.” 1Chronicles 28:9
“I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.” Song of Solomon 7:10
