Thank you for this Blog, John.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Carrie\u2019s response was sweet.\u00a0 I loved how the Blog concluded\u2026.\u201dTo stay in His love, obey.\u201d \u00a0What better thing is there than that?\u00a0 When I received the Holy Ghost, that is what I received: His mercy for sin and a desire in my heart to know Him and obey.\u00a0 \u00a0Nothing has changed\u2026 He is still sending mercy, and his spirit is still speaking, guiding in the right way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0In the Spirit, I think obeying just equals \u201cresponding\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0He is the initiator, we are the responders.\u00a0\u00a0He tells us (his commandments), and we say \u201cyes Lord.\u201d \u00a0To whatever.\u00a0\u00a0That \u00a0reminded me of a tender song that the Lord gave me in Louisville, one of my favorites: \u201cRespond\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0His ways to me have always been tender and simple.\u00a0\u00a0So, I do pray that God answers the prayers of your heart, for us.\u00a0 That we will be hoping in His mercy always, and do what you (and God) desires for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus has really been feeding us through your writings, blogs, remembers, etc. lately.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s a lot of mercy he\u2019s sending right there.\u00a0 Taking it in is merely responding to what He says.\u00a0 Thanks for these things, and God\u2019s thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n
