National Prayer Breakfast Trip...

  Scripture continually reminds us that nothing matters without Love, but not just any love, His Love (I Cor. 13)!  It is a gift from God (Rom. 5:5), like salvation, and if we pursue it daily in our relationship with Him, it changes everything!  God has promised this gift in a new heart filled with His Spirit (Ezekiel 36:26,27)!  Even His Word is just literature unless we sit down with the Holy Spirit and read it like a Love Letter (Jer. 31:3) from the Lover of our souls...   I used to ask for blessings and help for all the events of each day, which is not a bad request, but most of the time now I just ask that I could know Him better each day, that we would never be separated by anything throughout the day and to learn how to love like Jesus loves as each person and every event He has scheduled crosses my path (PS. 139:15-18)...   This has radically changed both the peace and fruitfulness everywhere He sends us!  This most recent trip to Virginia for a gathering of International leaders and Wash. D.C. for the Presidential Prayer Breakfast has not just been part of the job but a wonderful privilege and humbling experience of His grace!   Sue and I have been deeply touched not only by the experiences here but your faithful prayers, fasting and encouragement!  I have included a few pictures to help visualize the journey so far...
