You are completely right. I love ...Thank you Sonya. You are completely right. I love the part about strengthening each other... that it's not a race. Dan and I talk about that a lot, how we are so grateful that we work together when we feel like so many others around us are just in competition with one another. We need to be one in Christ.Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194009061009025150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446065040659528046.post-60850769781265946032008-03-18T16:25:00.000-07:002008-03-18T16:25:00.000-07:00Oh yeah, and your dog is way CUTE.Oh yeah, and your dog is way CUTE.Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068966362893102375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446065040659528046.post-69129216138720136862008-03-18T16:24:00.000-07:002008-03-18T16:24:00.000-07:00The Grace and Love of Christ is free and for eveyo...The Grace and Love of Christ is free and for eveyone, we are all sinners. Christ at the very moment of being nailed to the cross, still loved. Even offered a prayer of forgiveness, because he understood so much more of the picture than anyone. and we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. Like you said he's already walked this road.<BR/><BR/>I know for me though, it gets hard to love and when it gets hard to love, something that helps me is remembering we are all in the same boat trying to figure things out, and having hope and faith that someday others will understand it's not a race against each other, but an opportunity to strengthen one another in a time that is most crucial to stand together. Understand as Christ understood the imperfections of people. Just don't let them bring you down when they judge you saying you're unworthy or you've made a mistake, because it's bringing nothing new to the table. We are all unworthy and make mistakes, which is why what Christ did for us is called a gift, Grace, and mercy. We've done nothing to deserve it. Which proves the greatest love story is very real. Someone loved you so much that he laid down his life for you. He knows your intentions, and through being a spiritual soldier having endurance, others wont deny the light of Christ that shines from you. I'll be praying for you!Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068966362893102375noreply@blogger.com
