from Lydia:
"HV so good to see you back, I can say we have missed you but i want you to know that I have missed you too, I have not stopped praying for you and your children, and wondering about the sun on their faces.... Oh and how is BBQ with you???
As for you question, I really do not know if you meant to be the way it is or in a spiritual manner. Knowing what i know of you and about you, i know this is not just a question, you are going somewhere with it, smile smile smile.
I think the Lord has equipped us with both the cooling and heating system, in times of trial and hardships He sends His cooling system to our spirit and lives to help us like the 3 friends of Daniel in the furnace, 7 times hotter, yet, they could not smell the fire on them. And the heating system, is when we forget our first love for Him, when things of this world makes our heart wants to rest and have a nice cold shower, lol, that is when the Lord will turn His heat on so we can love Him with all our hearts, our minds and our souls. Joni Earickson Tada said once :" God allows what He hates to accomplish that which He loves." Tough? yes, but this is His heating system sometimes to us HV, including you and I.....
So blesssed and thankful to see you back. and will keep on praying for you brother, no, dear brother. Please just send me a note telling how things are with you.
