letters to my son

Joash replied one of recent mails with this...

Dad,

Everytime I think of our family I cry too. Because I know I am loved here. It's amazing.

Dear Jaosh,

It thrills my heart to see how you connect " the crying wih the
knowing that you are loved". It is a precious and beautiful thing.

just got 2 more of Erwin Raphael's books. He is [ at least from his
writing ] a different breed o Jesus's followers. One word that
resonate with what you blogged is the word....REVOLUTION. HE SAYS:-

The Transformation of Character is more Revolution than reformation.
It is forged from the battles we fight rather that the beliefs we
hold. it emerges out of crisis [ not necessary external catalyst, but
can be an internal work of of divine working as we study and interact
with Jesus*** ] , not out of classroom. It doesn't come to you ,you
must run to it...CHARACTER IS A HERO WITHIN YOU WAITING TO BE
AWAKENED....IN PURSUING A LIFE THAT IS NOT ABOUT YOURSELF, YOU FIND
YOURSELF LIVING THE LIFE YOU'VE ALWAYS LONGED FOR. With each challenge
faced, with each victory won, you suddenly come to the realization
that you are a different person than the one who began the journey.

Peter saw the wind, was gripped with fear, and began to sink..but
don't miss the point - he stepped into the storm and walked on water.
[ The only one out of the crowd!*** }

GO STEP OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE INTO THE MIRACLE - even if it is for
a few seconds..minutes.. IMMEDIATELY JESUS STRETCH OUT HIS HANDS AND
CAUGHT HIM. MT 14;31-33.

DAD LOVING YOU ALWAYS..n MAY 2
