Praise the Lord, Chosen Women!
I greet you all once again in the saving name of our Lord and Savior, which is Jesus Christ! Sometimes we do something with a genuine intent -- yet it yields horrible results. Ever happen to you? Well, it has happened to me this week.
When I write to you I write from my spirit-man, and with an open heart. I am a woman that does not mind the exposure from which many shrink. Why? Because my First Lady taught that disclosure is a part of ministry, and I accepted that. I do not have a problem sharing what I experience and how it makes me feel -- even if it exposes my humanity. I care most about somebody being saved, helped or encouraged to live his or her best life in Christ.
It has just not always been my luxury to keep quiet! LOL And it's not deep. Sometimes God just uses our lives for His purpose. Period. Didn't he give Hosea an unusual instruction regarding his choice of bride? Why? For God's own purpose. I embrace my life in Christ with all of its costs. But one thing I never, ever intend or seek to do along the way is to offend or hurt another of God's precious children.
Someone has been hurt by what I wrote to you. Yes, the principles were sound. But sharing in the way that I did has caused offense -- and that was not my intent. And so because my goal is to live by example and not just words I am removing my last post because it hurt a sister in Christ. I love her; and that's enough to take it down. Have a blessed week in Him!
In Service for the Master,
