Bible Note: Brother Robert, The Lord our God fills my heart with joy and laughter the day long! I will praise Him from the rising of the time I get until the time I lay down to sleep! Thanks for the kind words brother! I must apologize though. I reread my post(s) and noticed some misuse of words and some words left out. I submitted the post from my office and was in somewhat of hurry. Just to share something personal about babies/infants and small children. There is such a strong burden in my heart for them that I lay awake sometimes weeping and praying for them. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for this burden because I consider it a gift from the Lord and I am filled with joy just to know that. Just the other night I was walking in the parking lot at the local store and saw a man sitting in his car. He was turned to the child in the back seat pointing his finger in the child's face and he was yelling at the child. In addition, he had a very mean look on his face. This child was a toddler, in a toddlers car seat, about 3 years old I'd guess. I really had to struggle to stay in the spirit of the Lord. You see, I am a black belt in karate and in very good shape and I know what I am capable of if I should loose control in the flesh. I don't say that to brag, just letting you know that it wouldn't pretty, that it is certainly not in the spririt of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I don't want it to happen. How would that man like to have a GIANT point a finger in his face yelling and threatening him! Well anyway, I prayed to the Lord immediately and hung around for a while and the man stopped, then the mother came out and all was calm. I layed awake praying for this little one for over an hour that night. Well Robert, thanks for letting me unload that. I will not make a habit of sharing personal experiences on the forum. Always your brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
