Dear Russ,
Thank you for all that you do for God's Kingdom. I just
listened to the intro for the daily devotional's and it really spoke to
me. I have let myself be neutralized in my Walk by loneliness, and
disappointment and hurt at the hands of believers.
I am ashamed to say that when they failed me or hurt me, I
myself became "an accuser of the Brethren". I felt justified in
accusing them (after all they HAD failed and hurt me) but I never thought
about the fact that in doing so I was actually serving the
kingdom of satan, and not the Kingdom of God. Listening to you today it
became so clear to me, and I do repent of that.
Even though I am weak and tired of this lonely empty life, I
feel that God is calling me to serve Him. I feel Him telling me that
life isn't "empty", just that the way I've been living it is. And
so I am going to make a real effort to look at Him and not at the
darkness around me and start "filling" my empty life through Him
and trusting that if I focus on His will instead of my hurt that He
will not leave me lonely.
Thanks again Russ..
A friend and brother in Christ
