Withdraw!
Following on from my last post, I heard a great analogy this week, which really made the point well: When we say we want 'more of God' as if we are waiting on him, it is like us having a bank account with an unlimited balance, but rarely or never using our bank card to withdraw from it. We still have the account (salvation) and the money (the Holy Spirit) but we never use it. We live in a world full of death, depression, sickness, sin and all the rubbish that came into God's perfect and beautiful creation at The Fall. Christians have the one true solution, and yet so often we are either hiding it, ignoring it, or just simply not using what God has placed in us for his glory. That's just sad! The great commision says we are to preach the Gospel, cleanse the leper, heal this sick, make disciples, raise the dead (not necessarily in that order), but honestly in my opinion, a high percentage of us settle for Church attendance, maybe a mid week bible...

Abi, thank you for putting a smile on my face and in my heart. Let the JOY of the Lord be our strength and may our mouths be full of laughter and our lips with shouts of JOY. I so appreciate your blog An Untroubled Troubled Heart. I came across your facebook page awhile ago. It's good to worship again with you and John. I think of him always when I see turkeys in the field. 💕
