"Don't try to love the Lord anymore than you do, just stop and think of how much He loves you !"
It was one of the precious things the Lord had for my soul at the Richmond conference. As the week has flown swiftly by there seems hardly time to stop and meditate(absorb) that which the Lord has fed us with at the conference. Let us be as those we read of in the book of Nehemiah, "So the people went forth, and brought [them], and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house.....And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so." Neh 8:16,17 May the thought of Gods intimate love for each of His people, for all people cause us to find time to focus on the Word of God, both individually, and collectively. So then let us "delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee.." Isa 58:14 How do we delight ourselves in the Lord? We "grow in the knowledge and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ", we trust that "God is faithful" and as we prove the goodness of God to ourselves it will cause our faith to increase, and our joy to be full. "The joy of the Lord is yor strength" Neh 8:10
What a privilege to enjoy the labour of love shown to us by a few of His own durring conference time, may it be to the glory of God. "things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them." Hbr 6:9-12

"Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious:" 1Pe 2:7
Let the love of God cause us each to ask that God would continue to search our hearts, and see if there be any evil there.
