ReplyDeleteI'm excited to put this Word into practice today. Thank you for letting the Holy Spirit speak through you.
This posting is a great reminder that we need to seek God, receive from God, and then let the gifts that God plants inside of us grow.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are sharing your gift of writing with all of us, Patty. What a shame it would have been if you had chose not to nurture and grow the gift of words that God has placed inside of you. We would all be missing out on so much.
This was the most profound messages that I've heard in a long time. I am so blessed to have been touched by these words today
