I really don't know how to start this blog so here goes.
First of all, let me say that I am deeply humbled by all of you who read this blog. I never in my wildest imagination thought that so many people would read it. That in itself is a deeply humbling experience. As I have said before, I am not a writer. I just try to open my heart and pour what comes out onto this blog. I continue to be baffled by increase in the number of people who are fans on Facebook. Every time the number goes up by just one, it represents a person who likes what goes on here and I hope I can live up to your praise.
Normally these blogs come pretty easy to me. I just sit and write. Today I am struggling with words to use to express my sincerest and deepest gratitude to all of you who have said such nice things to me. Several people have told me that I might never know the impact that this blog is having on other people's lives. This blog has been one of the most gratifying things I have ever experienced in my life. I am especially humbled by the opportunity I had to lead a young girl to Christ through this page. I look forward to getting to meet her in Heaven one day. I didn't save her by any stretch. Only Jesus can do that but it was such a sweet experience to be the guide. Lord, thank you for allowing me to do that and I hope I get the opportunity through this blog again.
What many of YOU may never know is the impact you have had on my life. I hope to find words to tell you thank you for all you mean to me. Thank you just doesn't begin to seem strong enough to express my feelings of gratitude. See, I try to pour myself into these blogs in the hope that they will help someone else and I believe they do. And for many years, I believed that I was strong enough to help others without getting help myself. Then I realized that as I pour myself out, my emotional tank gets pretty empty. That is where all your kind words have made such an impact. They have refilled my tank.
After lunch today, I sat down at my desk and was feeling a little drained. I didn't feel bad but I wanted to reread some of the amazing but undeserved things people have said to encourage me. I just needed a little boost in my tank. Over the last few days, several people have taken the time to look into my Box and bless me. Then there was another post that just put me over the top by someone who was so generous. I just sat for a few minutes and cried. I am truly touched by all that everyone has done. When I wrote about the Box, I wanted to be blessing to others and I had no idea that so many others would be such a blessing to me.
When I think of you and all the kindness you have shown me there is such an amazing love and peace that washes over me. There is a song called "Thank You (For Giving to The Lord)". The chorus has these lines in it,
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
Well I want to say these words to you. Thank you for giving to the Lord by taking the time to make such a positive impact on my life. I have definitely been a life that was changed by you. I feel so undeserving of the things you have all said but I am so truly blessed by them.
That's the Opinion of a Deeply Humbled Minion

A Message from the Lord of the Minion
Dear Friends,
This will be a different type of post for me but I know it is right. If you are a minister, I ask that you read this with care and make sure I am hearing correctly. I believe today, I have a letter from the Lord that is in my spirit that must be let out onto this blog. Below please find that letter from the Lord.
My Dearest Child,
Long before you were born, I created this world and I gave it to my son Adam. It was completely his and I intended for us to grow it together. But Adam made a bad mistake. He gave the authority over this world to a fallen angel you know as Satan. Let me say, I have never stopped loving Adam. I care about him as deeply today as I did back then. It grieved me that he gave our authority to Satan but I still love him.
I deeply loved Satan before he fell from Heaven. Both Satan and Adam are my creations and I had to let both make decisions that would hurt Me even though I loved them with all that I am. Jesus was there with me when these things happened and I see love so deeply in him. I love him. It grieved us both to see our creation hurt and see where we knew things were headed. But We don't quit. Our love for you would never allow us to. That separation that Adam caused between Us and Our creation was something we desperately wanted to close. Our hearts yearned for Our creation even more than before the fall because of the separation that took place. We couldn't be one with Our creation like we were before that day in the garden.
I had a plan all along to bridge the gap. The problem with the sacrifices that took place before this was that Satan still had authority in the earth. That was what happened when Adam ate of the tree I told him not to. He gave authority I intended for us to share to Satan. I needed something to take the authority back so that I could be close to you and live with you. Before the cross, I could be around you and I could be close but I could not live inside you. It's like Tommy said about the box. I could admire and put things in you but I want to live in your box. I want to get as close as possible to the inner part of your box. I want to get so close that what's inside your box and I become one. If someone looks inside your box, I do not want them to be able to distinguish between what is you and what is Me.
I want to give you everything I have. I am constantly looking for ways to bless you. Sometimes you reject my offers but I never stop offering. You are still my most prized possession. If you look in awe at the majesty of the mountains or the depths of the oceans or the stars of the heaven, they are nothing compared to the way I look at you. You are all that I long for.
Before I could become one with you again, I needed to get the authority back to do so. If I had tried to change things without doing this, it would have destroyed the world and I would have lost you forever. The three of us (Jesus, the Holy Spirit and I) could not bear the thought of loosing you. You are too precious to Me. You are all that I want. The only way to put that bridge in place so that I could live with you and love you the way that I really wanted was for there to be a perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. They included the ones that I knew you would commit after the cross and all the ones before. For this to happen, We knew that We would have to send Jesus to as final payment for all the sin of our creation. He decided He would go through great pain because of His love for you.
When We sent him to the earth, immediately some of his creation sought out to kill Him. Imagine what it would be like for your son or daughter to be so misguided that they tried to take your life. That's what was happening then. Our creation didn't know Us. I protected him because We all knew what He had to do. I sent him into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. I had to make sure he faced every opportunity to sin that the rest of Our creation has faced. And he did. But he held fast to me and blocked every temptation. After that, he got to do what he loves more than anything. Even though they didn't know they were his creation, We blessed Our creation through him. We got to give out little glimpses of our love. And we enjoyed it. We got to heal the sick, proclaim liberty to the captives, provide food for people that needed, we got to give dead people back to their loved ones. We got to give money to people that needed it. We got to spend three years walking the earth in human form and blessing it. It was such a joyous time for us. Jesus loved his time on the earth with his creation. We waited until the time was right and then set about redeeming Our creation and putting the bridge in place that would allow Us to come live in your box and be one with you.
Many will say that I am an angry God looking for ways to hurt my creation but I am not. I love my creation too deeply to do anything that would harm it. It is all I love. Many of my sons and daughters are anxiously awaiting my son Jesus' second coming. That will be a sad day for me because many of those that I love more than anything will have made a choice not to live with me and be with me. I love them enough to let them decide but it hurts Me when they don't want Me. I want you to know that I love you today. I have always loved you and I always will love you. I am God but I want to be your Father. I want to spend time with you. I want us to enjoy your life together. I want you to be successful and fulfilled all the days of your life. I want nothing but the best for you. Bad things happen in this life to people but I don't do bad things to my loved ones. Little children, you are all I care about and desire. I have gold and beauty you haven't seen yet but I seek after you.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great fear and trembling that I submit this letter from the Lord.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have eternal life.
