Yes, indeed I think that's one of my greatest challenges - to keep still and appreciate silence and not always seek to fill my world with music (even if it's P&W music!). Hey Kenny,

Thanks. Yes, indeed I think that’s one of my greatest challenges – to keep still and appreciate silence and not always seek to fill my world with music (even if it’s P&W music!).

Indeed Jesus is everywhere in the Bible and it's all about Him. I think one can understand that and believe that and indeed be warmly satisfied in one's heart as you mentioned. And yet, I think there's still so much more. Not apart from Christ, for all things flow to us because of the work of Christ and never apart from it. And yet, I don't think that one has arrived when one experiences such a warmly satisfied heart, but it's only the mere beginning of a journey! Dear David,

I find silence and solitude are the two organs that help us ear...I mean, HEAR. I pray the Lord will grant the desires of your heart.

Happy to hear your appetite for God has finally tipped over to a greater desire for much more, which isn't too bad at all. Much discovery and growth come about from a dissatisfaction with the status quo and you sound like you're on the way to greater truths and revival. They say life without Jesus, is like a donut, is like a donut, is like a donut; Life without Jesus is like a donut, with a hole in the middle of the heart... Any truth, theology or understanding apart of Jesus is kinda like a donut and has a hole in the very heart of it. To see God apart from Jesus can warp our perception of things like truths, voices and even experiences. Jesus himself says that He who has seen him has seen the Father. I pray that in your search to find the real Jesus that's found not just in the New Testament, but hidden in the Old Testament, you'll see him appear in every story there is. From Abraham to Jacob to David and Solomon. From the Judges to the Prophets to the kings. From the exile to the promise land and back and forth, Jesus is there in the stories. After Jesus was crucified, his disciples kinda went their own way, of which 2 were going home via the Emmaus Road. For some reason, Jesus appeared to them but they couldn't recognize him until Jesus opened up the Old Testament ( scriptures ) and showed them things concerning himself. Only then did they recognize it was Jesus and their hearts were warmed. I interpreted the warm heart as a description of a satisfied heart and I hope you be blessed with it soon.
