It was good talking to you & Teresa...Hey Mike,<br /><br />It was good talking to you & Teresa the other day. I love your prayer! It's always good to start your day talking to your Heavenly Father, before you get busy or distracted. <br /><br />I feel a need to share with you something that helped me when I was seeking to get close to God. I, like yourself, was close to Jesus, because He was my Savior, and I read about His life in the Gospels. He's very approachable, loving, compassionate, easy to accept. When it came to God, I worked & worked, and tried & tried, thinking I had to please Him, always feeling a little distant...then one day, when I was reading the Bible, the revelation came to me, something I'd read a thousand times but never really "saw". Jesus said many times, "if you've seen Me, you've seen the Father", or "I can do nothing on my own, I speak the words the Father gives Me". In John 14:8-10, Philip said "Lord, show us the Father, and it will be sufficient for us". Jesus answered, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show me the Father?'" "Do you believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me..." This helped me see what God was like. I could go & on, but I apologize for writing a "book" on your blog...anyway, I thought this might be helpful to you, like it was to me. Take it for what it's worth. Have a blessed day!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633728568741873141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107186810254667602.post-72366014877516581762009-11-02T02:45:37.022-05:002009-11-02T02:45:37.022-05:00Amen, very precious.Amen, very precious.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107186810254667602.post-31240978425911782882009-11-01T20:40:52.330-05:002009-11-01T20:40:52.330-05:00Hi Mike just popped over from Beverly's to tak...Hi Mike just popped over from Beverly's to take part in your celebration of your faith via the blogging world.
