Forgiven, you are such an inspiration to me! God spoke to me through your words. It is so true that we have to find God before we can find ourselves, that He will show us what He wants us to do, we just have to be willing vessels.

I know I've been feeling the way you did, that He couldn't possibly use me when I am still such a mess. But as I heard someone say, He isn't looking at our ability as much as our availability. We see ourselves and our weaknesses and failings, but God sees what we can be, what we WILL be, and forgives what we are, we just have to step out in faith and know His hand is leading us.

Bless you and thank God for what He is doing in your life and how it overflows onto other people like me as encouragment while He works in my life as well.

Hello Forgiven,

I am so blessed by your posts. You have opened your heart fully to receiving what God wants you to receive in this blessed Study.

As you are being blessed with understanding and knowledge, you are willingly receiving and then sharing -- which will inturn bless others. Isn't God Good?!! Woooooohooooooo.

Even while you are cleaning out your garden, others walk past, peer in and receive hope, and then they start thinking -- maybe me too.

Your posts are like a gentle smile. Thank you.

Love, hugs and God's blessings to you,
Sister Mack

Hello Forgiven,

How I wish that all could grasp what The Holy Spirit has revealed to you. But because of the world's mixed-up take on life, most of us were taught incorrectly. Seems this flesh of ours just yearns to judge others -- and in so doing, we set ourselves up to be judged of others and by ourselves.

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for the correction and pointing us to the Truth -- Jesus. Thank you, Forgiven, for the blessed reminder.

God bless you, Forgiven.
Love and hugs,
Sister Mack

Taking a walk... distracted by the many thoughts that assail my mind in a day.. hardly noticing where I'm headed....

Suddenly my eye is distracted by the vision of flowers growing along a fence .... i allow my eyes to follow the floral vine over the arched gateway and into the garden beyond. I see the neatly manicured flower beds... the garden path leading from one to the next, all neatly weeded and overflowing with healthy shrubs and blossoms...

And there on the bench I see Forgiven.... she's so oblivious to my presence I suspect she's reading a letter from the man she loves because her face is glowing in adoration and her eyes sparkle with joy. I realize she holds the Holy Bible in her hands... and so as not to disturb her i turn and continue on my walk.

Dear Forgiven,

It's given me so much joy to follow along with your journal and see how God is working in your life. Have you given any thought to doing another study? There are so many available here, and i hope you will continue on and continue blogging also. You've a very talented writer and I know that God has great plans to use that gift for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ.

Love ya so much,
