Especially about what it *really* means to love and follow Jesus. And there's nothing more important to me than that, so...thank you!Oh my! I'm honored and blessed by your response.
I cringe when I think of many of my previous posts here... (you know that anyone who gets blocked for 1 week, then 2, then 4, then 8, then 16, and finally 32 weeks ... has said more than a couple of "troublesome" things...!).
I only hope - as I continually pray - that God (as He truly is, and not merely how He's been conveyed in human minds) will keep me on His path, drawing me ever-closer to Himself, ever more like Him, ever more deeply into His truth, which as Buckeyefan articulated so well, transcends all time, all eras, throughout all of history.
I just don't want to limited to a mere portion of it, due to some artificial boundaries...
I want it ALL!
It brings to mind one of my favorite songs, learned when I first met Him, and was involved in a local production of "Godspell"...
"Oh, dear Lord, three things I pray: To see Thee more clearly, Love Thee more dearly, follow Thee more nearly, day by day..."
(what a lovely song to have "stuck" in my head today!)
Thanks again, 10derHeart (great handle!) for your words, and for sharing them with me -- you brought joy to my day!
I look forward to getting to know you...
Shalom, Dena
