--Having given a considerable amount of time to wait for input from my previous request to readers, it is now time to continue. While waiting, I have come across an opportunity which will fan the embers of devotion in this writer's heart. One thing that I've been impressed with in the life of Jesus is that 'He went about doing the Father's will", not waiting for others to agree, or even necessarily follow. He had to do what He was called to do in devotion and obedience to the Father, and frankly, if no one followed, He walked on. He could not be distracted from the higher goal of pleasing His Father by devoted obedience.
I am weary this evening, having not slept well last night. In my insomnia, I read the first sections of "Because He Loves Me", which I acquired so easily for my android phone Kindle last night from Amazon. The theme that has been burning in my soul is "Anew You". This book seems to be a very nice guidebook for me to find the reconstructive process necessary to "anew" especially in motive and matters of the heart. May God receive greater love from each of us as we seek to grow in grace and knowledge and yieldedness to His Indwelling loving leadership.
From my heart, in His love, by His grace,
Gail
Gail, I'm glad you are joining us in the study. I'm encouraged that you are pressing on in this theme that God has laid on your heart as a topic to consider, with or without others' input. I think writing is first and foremost, a response to what the Lord is teaching you, and not so much what your audience needs to hear. I commend you for pressing forward in writing and journaling these thoughts through the book study. Press on...as He presses in with Truth!
