[quote=gladz23]Fear was one of the reasons she couldn't see him when he appeared to Lucy earlier in their journey.[/quote] Fixed our eyes on Jesus...fear not for God is with us! i remember Peter here who followed Jesus on the water...he walked over the water but as the wind blew ...he felt Fear..and begun to sink.. [quote=gladz23]For me, this is a beautiful reminder that no matter what we are going through or how busy we are, we need to remember that God wishes to have time with us to simply play and invites us to enjoy fellowship with our Maker.[/quote] the Lord can laugh with us even cry with us.. He loves us even we dont have enough time for Him. [quote=gladz23]"No one has greater love than this, that one lays down his life for his friends." We are challenged to live this out in our own lives as well.[/quote] Oh God,,,thank You for loving us... [quote=gladz23]However, we can always choose to develop a spiritual family unit with people of similar faith and character to share our journey.[/quote] "Spiritual family is more important than physical family because it stays forever." Pstr. Rick Warren We are in the family of God..spiritually one of our purposes in life is to have a fellowship to other believers. nice review gladz...you made me glad...naks!!
