Such a great word. One of the dreams I had in the past couple years was actually being raptured and taken to heaven with all of us crazy God lovers here.

Such a great word. One of the dreams I had in the past couple years was actually being raptured and taken to heaven with all of us crazy God lovers here. When I got there though, I was so sad thinking about all the people not there. I can’t say this is actually what would happen but I think it was just to show me Gods heart for the unsaved ones. He wants them just as much as you and me. Anyways, it made me look at it a little differently. I’ve been doing everything I can the past couple of years to get the gospel out. Whether locally or around the world. This dream really stuck with me.
Hi Mr. Burt! I love your ability to reflect on your experiences! I think maybe because it reminds me a little of myself at this point in my life. I spent so many years living with a hardened heart, hypervigilant about every person within my view, and actually living in a "fight-or-flight" mode. It was ingrained in me from my life experience. I've loved Jesus all my life from a child, but I never really understood or surrendered until the exhaustion of trying to fight the trauma of war and losing a child brought me to my knees. Shortly after really giving that fight to God, I noticed the changes he was making in my heart and the healing he was bringing to my life. That same ability to feel and reflect that you have is one of the greatest changes I noticed.
I love how you mentioned that you think it was God’s way of communicating His love for those who didn’t choose Him at that time, because those unspoken messages are where I hear God the most. It really tells so much about you as a follower of Jesus, a person, and how much you seek to hear His voice. Not only that… I believe that it shows just where you are in your relationship with Him!
Thank you for the reminder that God always has a message for me if I will just listen. I love how His Holy Spirit will always use the words of another believer to make us hear something the other believer didn’t even say! I’ve really enjoyed reading your post’s and reflections, and happy you are here!
Steve, thank you for the kind and affirming words. Sharing those things with me and the experiences and paths we walk is such a great fellowship I have found on this site. Thank you so much for reaching out. In am so happy to be in such a great community and thank you for being part of it.
