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

I am so thankful that your words tonight stirred the Gift of God in me, and reminded me once again of the sweet testimony of Jesus and his love and mercy. I never want to forget what he has done for me. Our testimonies are LIFE\u200b,\u200b and every time we tell of him we feel alive \u2013\u200b and a thirst and hunger for more! I want to live desiring more of Jesus and feeling his feelings in me! It is Jesus that makes this life worth living, and as your father, George Clark, said, \u201cJesus has the blueprint for your life; all you have to do is get in step with it.\u201d Those were not just words, but wisdom that he learned from the trials God sent his way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever struggles we may find along the way\u200b, it is Jesus trying to get us in step with his plan for us. That plan includes correction, discipline, and instruction from him. How thankful I am that even though I was \u201clost in the woods\u201d, HE knew what I needed to find my way back to him and used the love in the family of God to help me. And if we believe in his love for us, that still small voice will guide us to the Answer we need – – Jesus! <\/span><\/p>\n

I will never forget after Jesus touched my heart that day in 2006, I asked him, \u201cLord, what did you do to me?\u201d He answered so tenderly, \u201cI conquered that part of your heart that didn\u2019t believe the love of God.\u201d Oh my! What a Savior!<\/span><\/p>\n

He can conquer our unbelief with his love and take us to heights with him we never knew existed. I had to be willing and humble for Jesus to do what I needed that day. \u200bI wasn\u2019t even sure how to be that, but Jesus led me. And it was worth every tear to experience what I did with him and to feel his love flowing once again in me. I pray to stay willing and humble,\u200b to be his servant to be used for his purpose in these latter years. What a privilege and honor just to hear his voice and obey.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am thankful for the truth, for Jesus, and for a pastor who cares for my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

To still be feeling the love of God and a family to share it with is a blessing that fills the heart to overflowing,<\/span><\/p>\n

In the boat with Jesus!<\/span><\/p>\n
