Hi, Eric!
As a fellow Christian writer, I appreciate reading uplifting and encouraging devotional writing such as this. I was having difficulty sleeping after I climbed in bed, which sometimes happens because of my physical challenges, other times for other reasons, such as runaway thoughts about this and that. Tonight I was feeling some muscle tenseness that wouldn't allow me to just fall asleep and continue sleeping soundly, so I decided to get up for a while and spend some time reading and reviewing other writers' work on WDC. I'm glad I needed to get up for a while and decided to do so, Eric, because it gave me the opportunity to discover your devotional blog and read this particular devotion from it. You really did a great job of explaining the meaning of Matthew 5:5 about "being angry but sinning not." I'm looking forward to getting to know you through what you share about yourself and the devotional wisdom you impart in the devotions you've written and write. I'm planning on sharing similar types of writings, inspired by the wisdom the Holy Spirit has gifted me with, once I am able to upgrade my WDC membership and can begin creating my own blog content.
I've been saved by faith in Christ, and what he accomplished for every Christian on the cross, since I was 12 years old, and completed the Lutheran church catechism classes I took, Eric. Last September 28, I turned 70, so you can see that I've known and loved the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and been blessed in all kinds of ways throughout the years by each of them, developing a deep, personal relationship with them, as every believing member of the family of God does. Again, I'm grateful to God that I couldn't stay in bed, peacefully sleeping, so that I would get up, and find your blog, and begin enjoying it, and starting to get to know you, Eric.
Steve
