WARMS MY HEART

Sometimes, you wonder if you are a believer. Oh I know, I am, but sometimes the heart isn't there and, well, did the fire go out? Anyway, there is a subjective element to our faith--the objective comes first to be sure (the gospel about Jesus et al), but there should be something else that confirms it. Today was one of those times.

Facebook--reading the spiritual pilgrimage of one ofher old work mates from a few years ago. I don't recall what exactly happened, but there is growth, zeal, joy, a radiance in her testimony. That warmed my heart. Before I was a believer, well....

Someone I taught 7th grade history to almost 10 years ago is having her first child. Time has surely passed, but knowing she is happily married and is practicing her faith..., wsell, that warms my heart.

Today at work, I had the opportunity to speak of Jesus to someone in our office. Just an easy, unforced conversation. Going back to the apartment I was painting, with a lift in my step and with a warmth in my heart.....

What warms yours?
