Hi John.
I can’t recall how many times that I have read and listened to the tract: Spirit of a Serpent, Spirit of a Dove, but it has been scores. Every time that I listen to it, there are new thoughts and feelings in each of the sections: “the serpent”, “the Dove”, “the Stone”, and “Jesus”. There are so many things that I have learned about myself and others listening to your words. In my recording room the other night, when you read the section about shooting the dove and then finding it alive – that is the section that hits home to me the most. God’s children are referred to sparrows in the Bible, and look how God cares for them! And Jesus said that we mean more to God than small, fragile sparrows.
The Lord reminded me, through your testimony concerning the dove that you shot long ago, that the opportunity to receive God’s mercies and to love one another is a precious gift. God can heal wounds, and a broken reed He can straighten, and a smoking flax He won’t quench. His mercies are new and available every morning. All of God’s little sparrows are precious in His sight, and if the mind of Christ is in us, we feel the way God does about them.
Just wanted to share some feelings.
Billy
