That made so much sense, and to...Oh my gosh, Jenni! That made so much sense, and totally spoke to my spirit. (I almost cried!) Thanks so much for sharing your heart and being a vessel that God used. Seriously, as I was reading your comment, I thought, "Oh, that makes sense." <BR/><BR/>You are so right that sometimes we see a previous note or highlight and assume that's all we're going to get out of that Scripture... I don't want it to stop at a highlight or quote - I want to dig deeper. God really did speak to me so "perfectly" through those other Bibles, but you are so right - it wasn't the Bible, it was the living, breathing Word of God - the same Word in my new Bible. :) Thanks, sis! I love you!Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753052220550620792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793653403691070334.post-15939789422480706412008-10-03T13:18:00.000-05:002008-10-03T13:18:00.000-05:00God's word is our life line, it's the breath of Go...God's word is our life line, it's the breath of God breathed on us daily as we journey through life. It's completely understandable to be uncomfortable picking up a strange new bible with unfamiliarity written all over it. But Shanen, you don't serve a "perfect Shanen bible". You serve a perfect God who meets you right where you're at. The reason the past bible worked so well for you was not just its formatting or that it was "perfect" for you, it was because God spoke so distinctly through it to you and that the words God gave you in it was perfect for you. God will speak distinctly to you through this new bible too. Maybe God would like to use this new bible to make it His own like He did the other bibles. Sometimes we have a tendency to see something we have already highlighted or written in and we don't look deeper because we assume we got everything out of that scripture. Maybe God wants to take you to a deeper level with a bible that has no previous writing or highlights. Consider the new bible a new season in life. But this is just my advice and my advice can't compare to God's advice, so pray about it as I know you have already been doing and let God speak to you about it.<BR/>Love you sweetie!<BR/>I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to ask herself from time to time if she's overreacting.
