We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Lord, grant that from hence I may learn to withdraw thoughts, affections, desires, and expectations entirely from the world, and may fix them upon the heavenly state, where there is fullness of joy; where reigns heavenly, sweet, calm, and delightful love without alloy; where there are continually the dearest expressions of this love; where there is the enjoyment of this love without ever parting; and where those persons, who appear so lovely in this world, will be inexpressibly more lovely, and full of love to us. How sweetly will those, who thus mutually love, join together in singing the praises of God and the Lamb. How full will it fill us with joy, to think that this enjoyment, these sweet exercises, will never cease or come to an end, but will last to all eternity.
Jonathan Edwards

Our Father is simply inclined to forgive. This distinguishes Him from all invented gods and from all of humanity. He is eager to forgive at the slightest hint that we acknowledge our sin and guilt (Jer. 3:13).

    DAWN KILLION: former lesbian

    FORMER LESBIAN ACTIVIST

    “Being lesbian wasn’t an issue for me. I was happy.But then someone changed my life forever.”

    Having a lesbian identity was the best thing that had happened tome…I’d been rejected by men…ridiculed all my life for being atomboy. I was angry about being treated as “different” from othergirls, tired of the pain of rejection…I mean, as soon as I learnedwhat “homosexual” meant, I knew that was me. I had no interest inmen…and it just felt so natural, so I acted on it. As a lesbian, itwas great to finally have an identity that fit. I loved beinggay…but down deep inside, I wondered if living like this was right.Of course, I didn’t think there was any way out…I mean, I was bornthis way, right? So why did I feel the doubt? When I let Christ intomy life, He opened my eyes to a love I had never experienced before,but had always wanted. I learned how He had a different purpose formy life…and saw how His unconditional love helped me to heal thepain I’d covered for so long…I really thought I belonged before,but believe me, there’s no better life than being with God.
