Hi, Sweetheart,
Yes, it's your silly Daddy again. I just had a wonderful
experience sharing a Bible study with a man who is, well, a little
challenged. He wouldn't mind me saying what I have told him, that he
views the Bible the way its child would, with awestruck wonder at God's
creation. He sees the simple things in life so well, and his questions
to me when he calls with Bible questions are somewhat simple but in some
ways so profound.
Why am i sharing? It just made me think of how we might be studying the Bible,
had you been born. You'd have so many fun questions for me, maybe at
times simpler than his, but it would just be so much fun. And, as
you grew, you would gain more understanding and start asking questions
about things like the Godhead, which i tried to explain but couldn't because I'm just a mere person. (Though showing him Colossians 2:9 and a few verses after helped.).I'm sure you'd rely on the Holy Spirit as well as me to understand the King James Bible - the one fr5om the original Antiochan texts - so well. (It's actually got fewer archaic words and simpler language than other versions like the NIV. Yeah, I'm being silly, you know that, huh?)
Thankfully, I would be able to share my faith with you, and
help you to understand God's love. You would be seeing it in how I
treat you, as well. So, hopefully you would have come to know Jesus
Christ as your Saviour by calling on Him to save you from your sins at an early age, and you would enjoy that personal relationship
with Him. Indeed, hopefully you would be reading the Bible like this man
does, always excited at looking at the relationships and just exploring
in your mind what it was like to be alive back then, to be each of the
figures in each story.
That's where I say, he looks at it like I imagine you doing
so. With that awestruck sense of wonder at the love of God, and trying to imagine what it was like to see Jesus face to face. You would ask, as he did,
things like how could they reject Jesus after seeing the miracles that
He did and after looking in God's Word at the Old Testament and what was
prophesied. And, we would have fun talking about who we'll see up in
Heaven.
Of course, you are up there now, and you probably have
perfect understanding of all of those situations like my friend asks
about, some of which even I am mystified by a little. We all have so
much to learn about God's Word, and we can see so much new each time we
read. Of course, you know Jesus personally up there.
In fact it's
funny. As I was helping my friend understand a few things about the
passage he had questions about, the Holy Spirit ministered to me and I
sensed the Lord reminding me that, yes, you are up in Heaven, but
Jesus gives me little things like that or hints of what it would have
been like, to help me to know that He, Jesus Christ, my personal Savior,
is helping me through everything, and that I'm still getting a taste of those joys in anticipation of what will come when we do meet, because I've trusted in Him.
There have been other times, some things I've mentioned
here, some I haven't, that I know the Lord is guiding me and helping me
to see that even if I can't be with you here on earth, I can have those
special little opportunities. And, I can trust Him, because I have put
my trust in Him by calling on Jesus Christ to forgive me and save me
from my sins, through His death ont he cross and His bodily resurrection. I know I can trust Him to get me to Heaven, and to watch
over you till I get there.
Till the glorious day when we meet,
Love,
Daddy
