A Thankful Heart

Hi Pastor John! 

I am so happy!  I am just happy.  I love hearing from Jesus and learning how to be more like him.

Last week, as I was getting ready for work one morning, Jesus whispered something to my heart.  Jesus whispered, “It is good to be under your husband and to take instruction from him.  It is good to be a good wife.”  I thought about it all day.  The feelings I had were thankfulness and an eagerness to be a good wife to Jerry, for Jesus.  I thought about Jesus changing my heart and making me able to even want to be under my husband.

The following night, Jerry sat down with me and told me that I needed to change something I had been doing.  Jerry told me that it was hurting my spirit, and it was going to cause trouble in my walk with Jesus.  I knew Jerry was right.  Jesus had already pricked my heart about it.  How sweet it was of Jesus to prepare my heart!  I feel so thankful to have a husband that can help me and keep me on track.  That is a gift from Jesus.  I am also thankful that Jesus gave me a heart that is thankful for that correction.  That came from Jesus.  I was never able to take instruction or correction from anyone.  I had a rebellious heart my whole life. 

Sometimes, I can see the things that Jesus is changing in me, and I feel so overwhelmed with his love!

I am just happy, and I am so thankful.  I never had a thankful heart; that came from Jesus, too!
