I have thought much about sharing with strangers, that God loves them and wants them to know it. When we do, the Spirit of His love brings tears, flushed faces, and a warmth and glow on many: can we be wrong?
Should we be saying, and it’s true, that sinning is shameful, and we should all be ashamed? I think not.
Upon His cross, why do I call it His when it was mine? “He despised the shame, my shame, not his. Why would I raise the issue of their shame when I am equally guilty? Can I really gain by doing so? Did Jesus do this? (Hebrews 12:2)
Unless we are caught by the Holy Spirit, being exposed only leads to excuse. “Love suffers long and is kind,” and “Love covers a multitude of sins:” Love covered mine. (1 Corinthians 4) (1 Peter 4:8)
It was Love that I met the night Christ came into my heart. I have recognized the wince of the harshly criticized child; it is a pain I can never forget. It is this love that I also can never forget.
How soon would despair drive me into the woods, and away from the world, were it not for the comfort of the: Comforter.
Oh, that the church at large were thus engaged. The team is broken; but it only takes a spark to once again see the fire going.
Revival and awakening, that is the great need in the world. You out there, God loves you and He wants you to know it, really know it.

Can I just say what a relief to find a person that really understands what they’re
talking about on the internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
More people should look at this and understand this side of your story.
It’s surprising you are not more popular since you most certainly possess the gift.
Thank you for commenting. God loves you. He made a way for you to be with Him forever. That way is Jesus.
