Critical readers notice what others miss. Then how much more so when the Spirit of God dwells in said person. My dad had such an intimate relationship with the Lord that he spoke alone out loud, to my understanding it was a soliloquy. Later, as I grew up, I understood that my dad felt the presence of the Lord so real with him and it was normal to respond to God and start a conversation. Those were the home morning events of my childhood.
My parents never gave me a formal spiritual education of words and rules. They instilled in me a deep love for God and His Word. Their passion for Jesus captured my heart at a very tender age. Listening to them and seeing their dedication to the Lord, was the lasting education I received from them. I constantly heard my dad blessing us every morning with this:
“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” (John 17:17 MEV).
