Hi Lord...
> Wow, you called me Lord....after all that...
yeah - Well, You are...and you are my friend and everything really...
> I am amazed at your ability to get my attention.
Hmmm.... well, YOU GOT MINE that is for sure. It has been 13 years since YOU came to me that morning in June.
> I was responding to other's pleas.
So, I wish to say THANK YOU, JESUS!
>You are welcome - welcomed into MY family...Rejoice!
That is not the first time You have told me to "Rejoice!"
It must be something you are very passionate about for me. - and if for me than surely for others too.
> So what will you do knowing that?
Help me to Rejoice Oh LORD in You.... Help me to surrender anew to You....
>I have, I am, and I will... Rejoice!
Seems like a command from you to me...
>It is.
Why is it so hard to obey that command at times?
>Because it is impossible for anyone to do wwithout me.
But You are always with me.
>There is a difference between being with you and empowering you. You like to do things on your own -
>especially rejoice. That is why it is difficult for you to do.
