I am just going to ramble …spiritually about JESUS….

* I have been in a “funk” for about 5 weeks….
just a ” wandering feeling “…..
just a ” going no where feeling ”
and because you know what YOU SHOULD BE
DOING…spiritually, what you should be
feeling…spiritually….. but you have
NOTHING TO OFFER AT ALL….I am talking NOTHIN ‘
Have you ever known The Word….
Have you ever known THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH…
Have you ever known THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH ….

you have reached out your arm…stretching your fingers…
but just can not ” reach all that was in your ~ HEAD ”
and that you have truly believed….
but in this Chapter….you just can not reach it ?

You stay faithful, reading His Word…praying…
You stay in the flesh…. yeah, just being honest…
and then all of a sudden….
you see, you feel, you realize…
GOD IS MOVING THE BALL……
” the stirring ” ….of faith made alive
” the stirring “…..of what YOU “know” …
” it is like the HOLY SPIRIT is rumbling inside you….”

Ever sang the song – ” TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS ? ”
and it stays “IN YOU “….just sit there….

” TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS… LOOK full in HIS
WONDERFUL FACE…and THE THINGS OF EARTH WILL GROW
STRANGELY DIM….in the LIGHT OF HIS GLORY and GRACE ”

and so here are some things…..

* been to the alter a few times…..
* on a Weds. nite at Church in Lima , had our
Bishop and Pastor pray over me…in tears….
* Last Sunday was Pastor Appreciation Day…
Which is a total blow out service….
and at the end
we all made a processional line…to say thank you…
to our Pastors…and He pulled me in…
( this is THEIR DAY…..THEIR TIME…)
He said, ” during worship the LORD TOLD ME YOUR PEACE
is coming ” I looked at him with a tear coming
and said, ” I AM READY “……

Monday A.M. @ 6 – HE woke me up…” get up ”
I looked at the clock and thot, it is before, even
Rock gets up to go hunting , I don’t “have to get up ”
but I DID, because HE TOLD ME TO….

I HAD INSTANTLY…. upon sitting up in bed…
COMPLETE JOY, COMPLETE JOY, COMPLETE JOY !
” no turning back JOY ” ……

just from who ?
just from JESUS
Just from JESUS
JUST FROM JESUS

can I say one more time ?

JUST FROM JESUS……

it came while I was sleeping….
I did NOTHING TO EVEN GET IT….
HE JUST GAVE ME MY JOY BACK !
FULL BLOWN JOY, BACK……

JESUS CHRIST is my source ~ of my joy……
JESUS CHRIST alone, at the age of 58
is the total source of my joy …
and it is a ” CHRISTMAS MORNING JOY ”
it is FULL of HIS LOVE
it is FULL of HIS COMPASSION
it is FULL of HIS HOPE and FAITH in HIM ALONE

I love that He never gives up on us…
I love that HIS MERCIES are NEW EVERY MORNING…
6 a.m. morning….
IN …THE….MIGHTY….NAME OF JESUS !
