Jesus' love bled so that we could be free from all that exterior stuff and simply draw near to Him. what a precious thing that is! <br /><br />beyond all this, i am proud that you stand by what you say. and i can understand your hurt and frustration. i have been there. lost lifelong friends because of truths i thought i was supposed to share. and you never imagine truth will render those types of consequences...the loss of what were once though to be the deepest, truest, most lasting of friendship. it does burn. but after tasting truth, what other option do you have?<br /><br />once again, i am proud of you. and i stand behind you and your womanhood, whatever that may look like for you.<br /><br />love you, girl <3 i'm praying for you.charla bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897087109849801493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-3388604146207755022011-10-03T19:33:29.938-05:002011-10-03T19:33:29.938-05:00oh, dear one.
i think often of the One who said, ...oh, dear one. <br />i think often of the One who said, <i>come to me, all you who labor.</i><br /><br />when we follow, sometimes others see our backs (because, you know, we face the Most High) and assume things that shouldn't be assumed.<br /><br />gracelessness always hurts.<br /><br />but the Shepherd, our tender Shepherd ... let us only have eyes for Him. <i>"my burden is light"</i> he says. and i ponder those words deep, let them marinate in my soul.<br /><br />our burden is Light.<br /><i>Light. </i><br /><br />and in His grace, as we carry his Light<br />we find refuge within His shadow (ps 91).<br /><br /><i>(and do you know how close you must be, to be hidden within someone's shadow?)</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
