First there was "Breaking Free", and I was in the hills where He was just raining all over me with His perfect love and devotion to get me to where I knew what abundant life meant, and freedom is in Him.
Then came "Daniel", and prayer became a closer relationship with Him and about me crying out to Him, praying for others, praying to get me through a fire if necessary.
And now comes the end of "James". I am a little speechless to this one. I know I will never look at this book the same, I got to know more about him, and it became personal. James direct approach and yet still with a love for his brethren. He knew what it was like to have a missed opportunity, and he knew that just when you think it is dead and over, and you think nothing can come from it, Jesus resurrects it from the grave, and we are healed. Jesus appeared to James, and on that day He appeared, Mercy Triumphed.
I don't really remember why the group I was in started this particular study, but God knew. I always have a hard time saying goodbye.
The last session Beth taught (session 8), I found myself amazed that she and I had so much in common. We have similar backgrounds. I found myself with chills as she spoke, absorbing it all, not wanting it to end, tears in my eyes. This is me.
I am not sure what study I am doing next, and maybe I won't be doing it alone this time. Whatever God wants. But I'm so glad for mercy aren't you?
