Dear Bro. John:<\/span><\/p>\n

I heard a best-selling author say something today on TV that touched my heart.\u00a0 What he said reminded me of November 2006 when the Lord said to me, “Let’s fall in love again.”<\/em>\u00a0 This author, talking about prayer, said, “We want the answers, but God wants the intimacy.\u00a0 He wants you!”<\/em>\u00a0 That really struck a cord in my heart as I remembered searching for the “answer” that November 18th, 2006.\u00a0 I entered my apartment that day thinking I was going to seek for answers.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 That would have been “hard<\/strong>-seeking”, and Jesus knew it.\u00a0 So, he tenderly led me down the “heart<\/strong>-seeking” path of love and feelings in Song of Solomon.\u00a0 His intimacy removed the need for answers!\u00a0 His love was the answer!\u00a0 When He took me to where I needed to be, it was just Him waiting there!\u00a0 I found Him in the feelings, in the memories of my relationship with Him.\u00a0 I found Him in the intimacy of His love.\u00a0 He came that day and sat right down beside me . . . . and once again captured and conquered my heart.\u00a0 There was no need for words.\u00a0 I was happy just to rest in His arms once again and feel the sweetness of His Presence.\u00a0 Praise God!<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 3, 2009, you said this in a gathering: “If you have a problem, forget about it.\u00a0 If you have a blessing, forget about it.\u00a0 It’s HIM!\u00a0 Your testimony is not as good as HE is!”<\/em>\u00a0 Well, Amen!\u00a0 There is no need to be afraid to surrender to His love.\u00a0 Forget about your problem, forget about your blessing, forget about your answer.\u00a0 Just be thrilled with Jesus!\u00a0 Nothing<\/em> is as good as He is!<\/span><\/p>\n

Heart-seeking = intimacy with God!<\/span><\/p>\n

Forever thankful for His love,
\nSandy\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“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<\/strong>, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.”\u00a0 1Chronicles 28:9<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
