Synopsis ""Coffee Time With Jesus""
It is a privilege to open the Bible at any time and receive encouragement, pleasure, and instruction. Two years ago, I sat down in a comfortable chair with my coffee cup and my Bible. This had become my special time of fellowship and prayer, and it felt like having coffee with Jesus. After a time of study and prayer, I was quietly mediating on God's Word, when His voice spoke to my spirit. The message was simple. "Why are you not sharing this with others?" Up to that time, FaceBook was just a way to stay in touch with friends and family. Now it is an outlet for ministering to others. The next day, I began a daily devotional called, "Coffee Time with Jesus." The subject matter began to develop in the direction of the importance of learning to understand and discipline our emotions. After discussing this with my daughter, who is a Clinical Social Worker and was a Christian Psychotherapist, she informed me that God had also given her revelations in dreams, specifically in the area of dealing with human emotions. He had revealed to her the effects of negative emotions on the human body, when they are not appropriately processed. Linda has joined me in writing this book. We feel that the book is divinely inspired by the Lord, to help honest seekers find and develop a relationship with Him. Our desire is to help others to find God and to grow in their spiritual walk. Understanding our emotions, gives us insight into how we can discipline ourselves to be in compliance with God's word. Untamed emotions can be identified and regulated, as we begin to demonstrate more of the "fruit" of the Holy Spirit, spoken of in First Corinthians Chapter 13, the Love Chapter.
