I was wanting to make a different post, but the Spirit will not let this get out of my mind right now. Just want to drop a line and say it has been a great blessing to me to have this kind of fellowship with like minded believers, albeit over the internet.
The belief that God REALLY is love, in this world has been a rather lonely walk for me, not sure if you all can concur. To be able to communicate with others with the same belief is a great blessing and a builder to the faith God has given me. To think of where I was and to where I am now, is in itself a miracle. Although there is still a lot of work yet to be done, God can do it.
It has been very interesting to see other peoples walk and how God has brought us to the same place. Be ye separate...definetly has a lot of truth and meaning behind those words. It is a life of endurance, but with the spirit of Christ in me, I shall endure.
When I was young in the Spirit, I could not understand why all the sufferings and the hatred over the truth that God is LOVE. But through much suffering for His name sake and coming to this website, and the extensive knowledge taught here, it is a good thing to suffer, be persecuted, and hated for His name sake.
I am interested to know if any of you all have suffered for Jesus and for the simplicity of the truth. I find that it has only brought me closer to the love of God and not further.
I am not one for eloquence of words and oftentimes get misunderstood for this, but honestly the fellowship here has increased knowledge, blessings and the love of God. For that I am ever grateful.
God bless you all,
Gary
