    Dear Jay,
    Thank you for a beautiful prayer of humility poured out from a servant’s heart. The Lord has used you in such a wonderful way to edify and encourage His saints. Thank you for continuing your ministry through this blog (and your other activities) that I may glean from your years in God’s Word and grow in my understanding of the Scriptures.
    My heart’s desire is to be used in God’s service to help others and comfort those with the comfort which I have received. Your ministry is important to me and to so many others. “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
    Be encouraged today, giving thanks and praise for what God has done and will continue to do, as we serve Him and look forward to the day of Christ’s return.
    God bless you!
    Humbly and in Christ,
    Bill
