Brother JohnR and Brother David,

This might not be the best place for this. But I felt led to do this. I read your words and my heart aches. It wrenches in pain for you. Because I know who you are and yet you only see your pasts, your sins, your down falls.

Did you know God doesn't see you that way. He doesn't see what you've done wrong. He sees His sons, whom He created, with great love, GREAT love, and who He adores completely. Sons who make Him proud, daily!!!! He knew you'd make mistakes and He made you just as you are anyway. He enjoys walking with you both as you learn and grow. But the guilt you carry is not from Him. That guilt saddens our Father because He knows it's heavy for you and He wants to take that off your shoulders. Cause His love for YOU is GREAT! HUGE! MAGNIFICENT!

Gosh you know I've never done this before but I just had to get your attention so you could possibly hear Gods words of love. He just wants to hold you, His sons.

He says his burden is light and His yoke is easy. The loads you two men of God are carrying is not light nor easy. Hmmmm....must be carrying something that is not from God then.

I hope you hear my words. I hope you let them settle into your heart and soul. I hope you don't let the enemy steal them from you. He'll whisper things to make you doubt they are true. Recognize that's his evil voice and tell it where to go right then and there. "Get away from me Satan for I'm serving the Lord." Serve the Lord by allowing His grace to work with in you, and His love to flow freely through you. Allow His spirit to consume every cell of your body. Just rest in Him brothers. One day you'll give up these heavy loads of guilt and shame and doubt because those things aren't allowed in Heaven. If they aren't allowed in Heaven then why you carrying them now? I know it's not easy to lay that load down. With practice you'll get there.

Praying for you both! God loves you each one and so do I. Proud to call you my brothers.

Your sister,
Dora

Thank you so much for your love & support! You are truly a gift from God. I love God & I love God for sending people like you & others on this site into my life. You all have made a tremendous difference in my life & again I thank you all!!! Sometimes I get cranky & I forget about God's love & grace but thankfully it doesn't last very long. My whole life right now revolves around God from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. I'm either studying/reading about Him online or watching some Christian programing on TV or listening to Christian music when I'm at work. In one way or another I want to find some way to serve Him full time in my life. One of the things I'm thinking about is becoming a speaker & sharing some of the pitfalls I have experienced & how they have hurt me & those around me. I was very concerned for David & I pray that God has lifted his spirit.

God Bless

AMEN Pine..... one thing that helped me was getting off the merry go round. I actually had to physically make changes in my life and not just type or say it, and when I got off the merry go round of poor me, my life really did change. Im walking with God now and not myself. Its great to have new brothers in Christ.
