.... than that found in the following words of Lovely;
These words were not addressed to me, but by faith i have made them my possession.
How wonderful it is to read these words, and how comforting it is to see God open up a person so that they may better receive all that He has to give.
There is hope..... and it is seen in the heart and person of the one who authored the above words.
Allow me to be even more bold...... and declare that in these words one can see the heart of God Himself.
Thank you Father, for revealing yourself in the Son.
Amen.
Lord, that you would have this mercy on us all.
In love,
cj
lovely said:I appreciate this thread, Julian, I rarely consider this issue. And after the experience I had last year with it, I was exasperated by it. I do not believe that I have had the right attitude about this gift because I have let man distort it in my mind and heart. I am happy that God is able to help me stop avoiding it, and address it from a Biblical perspective. Though, I may never have all the answers on this subject.
Free, thank you so much for taking the time to answer me, and so kindly too. I knew you were originally feeling a bit put off...but I wanted to ask my question to you anyway. I wanted to learn from your response just what you meant. Frankly, I do not have much exposure to these things, and come up with more questions than answers. I am truly going to have to look to God to guide me here.
As I read this thread I am praying and asking God to help me address this topic as He would have me do. I am enjoying all the responses...digging into Scripture...and learning. It is very exciting...now that my nervousness about this particular subject has worn off. Thank you all for sharpening me, and aiding God in stretching me.
Blessings
