Dad:<\/strong> Hi daughter.
Me:<\/strong> Yes, Dad, I\u2019m quite busy.
Dad:<\/strong> Busy doing what?
Me:<\/strong> Busy doing what you sent me to do \u2014 praying, talking to my siblings, and conducting meetings with my fellow gold carriers.
Dad:<\/strong> But you have not had time to sit on my lap and feel my heartbeat?
Me:<\/strong> Dad, I will come later. I have to fulfill this passion burning inside of me.
Dad:<\/strong> (smiling)<\/em> Who placed that passion there? Was it not I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continued:
“Daughter, I would liken you to a reservoir filled with water, where people come to draw. But one thing about a reservoir is this: if it is not continually refilled, it will soon run dry and lose its relevance. And I am the only one who can refill you. Renewal is not optional \u2014 it is vital. A lack of it could be deadly.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The illustration Dad gave me was too real to ignore. I was deeply touched and had to mellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said,
“Sit, and let me teach you more principles you don’t yet know, because your path is meant to shine brighter and brighter.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sat with Him, and He taught me many things. But one principle stood out above all:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Meetings don’t make men; fellowship with Me makes men.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He said,
“Don’t trade your fellowship with Me for activities. I need you to continually rest in My arms so I can show you how to lead. You will raise My banner, and I will lead the people through the gates through you \u2014 but My place in your life must never be underestimated.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our conversation, I decided to sing a duet with my Dad:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me:<\/strong> That I may dwell daily in Your presence and know You more.
Dad:<\/strong> I long for that from you always.
Me:<\/strong> That I may love You always.
Dad:<\/strong> You show your love for Me by keeping My commandments.
Me:<\/strong> I will keep Your commandments.
Dad:<\/strong> Then I will prosper you and make you a wonder to your generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

A Word to My Fellow Gold Carriers:<\/strong>
Do not exchange your fellowship with God for mere activities. It could be detrimental.
Desire more of Him<\/em> daily, and He will direct your steps.
He will take you to places where human wisdom cannot lead you, because fellowship with Him generates divine wisdom<\/em> for exceeding exploits<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
