Jeremiah 16-17; Psalm 96; John 16

There's a passion in me I can't deny and I wonder if in the NOT denying it You are simply growing it even more... a passion in me to connect w/You and in that connection help others to their own connection.....a passion in me for them to find You and their passions in THAT finding...a passion to see people growing and loving in Your Grace and Mercy.....a passion, an urgency to stop living w/o that mercy and grace myself...It don't make sense when it comes out of my mouth...but in my head and heart it feels like something YOU put there...???

So in all Jeremiah's calling out to the people...calling down on them, reminding them of God's wrath from their neglect and disobedience..Jesus saves us from THAT wrath?? So IF you haven't accepted what He's done, how He's saved us, we're still under that wrath??

I don't want anyone to suffer ...heck I don't want anyone to not know the JOY of YOU now....I don't know how to speak to someone who is blatantly ignoring You.....I think the ones who ignore You scare me the most....no I am most scared of those who claim to know You and don't / aren't more soft and loving as a result of that knowing.......I don't know much of anything anymore.....and yet what I do know elicits a passion in me I am excited and scared of.....

John 16: 8-11"When he comes, he'll expose the error of the godless world's view of sin, righteousness, and judgment: He'll show them that their refusal to believe in me is their basic sin; that righteousness comes from above, where I am with the Father, out of their sight and control; that judgment takes place as the ruler of this godless world is brought to trial and convicted.
12-15"I still have many things to tell you, but you can't handle them now. But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won't draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said. He will honor me; he will take from me and deliver it to you. Everything the Father has is also mine. That is why I've said, 'He takes from me and delivers to you.'

So just rest in the passion...knowing knowing it is You.....
