Sitting Down With God

    Open the eyes of my heart Lord! Open the eyes of my heart.  In Hebrew, "your eyes will be opened," is a metaphor for knowledge.  Knowledge is power.  Especially, when God is imparting knowledge to you.  The changes that occur in your life due to God's knowledge in your heart is unspeakable.  You can't imagine the power that comes into your life with that knowledge.

Dear Readers,         God is so good!  He is an amazing, everlasting God.  I have just finished my first week in school and I am amazed at the love that my fellow classmates and instructor have for our Lord.  It is great to see such passion for God.  I am enjoying each of my discussions and I feel encouraged by a body that knows that our God is more than enough.         The last time I wrote, I wrote on dealing with members of your family and household.  I had some questions for myself, and I put those questions before the Lord.  You shouldn't write anyone off.  It might happen that your relationships are not what they used to be, but love them.  Show them how wonderful it is to serve our God.  A God that makes the impossible, possible.
