Expressions of Thanksgiving
While reading through the beautiful book Expressions by Jane Lazenby as part of my time in God’s Word each day I find this quote:
“Find people who are amazed by God and LET THEM (emphasis mine) pour into you. The deeper you go into the Word, the less you know. The less you know, the more you find God and worship Him……. Pursue being amazed by God. Ask God to build in you a heart that can’t get over Him. Ask Him to intrigue you forever.”
That is good stuff right there!
Psalm 71:17. O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
Isaiah 25:1. O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Cornucopia of people
My life has been a cornucopia of such people! From my earliest recollections I have been blessed with people who were amazed by God and poured into me! I discover this truth, “the more time I spend in God’s Word the less I know,” as they live out Christ’s example before me. They challenge and inspire me to study God’s Word!
Thank You
I am so humbled. Each soul who has crossed my path and has left their dust in footprints I now follow. I have not been easy to pour into, but you did! You spoke the truth even knowing it would be hard for me to hear! “You gave to the Lord and I was the life that was changed!” Thank you! Only God could love you more!
Lord, I ask You to “build in me a heart that CANNOT get over You! Lord, intrigue me forever!”
Ms Lazenby, you wrote this book for me! Now you too have poured into me! Thank you!
