There is nothing academic about it (meant as a positive ;) . Thank you for your encouragement and sharing your experiences with us. May the Lord pour out His love on you in an overabundance so that in turn you may pour it out on others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640373.post-61952813650765380312007-05-02T23:03:00.000+05:002007-05-02T23:03:00.000+05:00Strider, Heck yes I read your blog! the stories ar...Strider, Heck yes I read your blog! the stories are great. Once I get past the nicknames of places and people, which are very clever by the way! All I can think of is leaving blank for the name.

It is a great complementary post. Both of you are saying the same thing. <BR/><BR/>You are right on with the statement, <I>"I long to call people to freedom...to the glory of life and love. I cannot do this by a theological argument or a clever apologetic. People are transformed to love by love..."</I> Thanks for the needed reminder that people respond to love for them, not our theological viewpoints.J.

So, we (she) thought we should post our thanks. <BR/><BR/>This was a beautiful post. It is God's love that began to transform my life and priorities about two years ago and I hope never to be the same. I am frequently overwhelmed with gratitude that by God's grace I am beginning to love Him. <BR/><BR/>BlessingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640373.post-79449021011723613132007-05-02T06:24:00.000+05:002007-05-02T06:24:00.000+05:00Strider,This post is exactly where God has me righ...Strider,<BR/><BR/>This post is exactly where God has me right now... it is exactly what I need to hear. As you know, I am talking about love on my blog as well, and I appreciate your input over there.<BR/><BR/>You said: "Jesus sees me as something I am currently not. Holy, righteous, redeemed, forgiven, powerful, unique, consequential." Could it be that we demonstrate God's love when we also see people as Jesus sees them, not as they currently are. Of course, the hard part is seeing people as Jesus sees them, not as WE want them to be... Jesus still has much work to do on me. I'm glad he is LOOOOONGsuffering.<BR/><BR/>-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640373.post-51323999010545455332007-05-01T23:30:00.000+05:002007-05-01T23:30:00.000+05:00Sometimes as ministers to others all the time, we ...Sometimes as ministers to others all the time, we tend to neglect our own selves. We still need to feed ourselves with a steady diet of God's word and communicate OUR needs to Him as well as others. I too forget to do this, and begin to get down on myself and forget that I am a child of the Most High God. It's good that you recognize this before it gets too far away from you. Keep guarding yourself!<BR/>SAMS.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07477542022662463975noreply@blogger.com
