Gratefulness

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a story from John Wesley's Journal that I wanted to share.

John Wesley had a conversation with a porter who opened a new door to the spiritual awakening that would happen to him some years in the future. The man proved to be the first truly grateful person he had ever met. 

While the porter had only one coat and had consumed nothing all day but a drink of water, his heart still over flowed with praise to God. John remarked, “You thank God when you have nothing to wear, nothing to eat, and no bed to lie upon. What else do you thank Him for?”

 The man answered, “I thank Him, that He has given me my life and being, a heart to love Him, and a desire to serve Him.”From this testimony, John realized there was something more to following Jesus than he had ever experienced before—and this was something he wanted.

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a short story from the journal of one of the First Great Awakening preachers.  An interesting story about life, death, and eternity.

From John Wesley's diary we gather the following, under date of March 29th, 1782: "Being Good Friday, I came to Mansfield to assist in the services of the day.  Well we were administering the sacrament to about thirteen-hundred people I heard a low, soft, solemn sound, just like that of an aeolian harp.  It continued five or six minutes, And so affected many that they could not refrain from tears.  And then gradually died away." Evidently the angel choir, joining in the services.
