I know I haven't blogged in a while, but it has slipped my mind. I'm not sure anyone is reading anyway. God's love is so simple. As Christians sometimes we try to complicate things so much we don't even understand it ourselves. Recently, Lacey and I got to go down to Gulf Coast Getaway in Panama City, FL with Watershed. On the final night two girls from a very poor nation in Europe got up and talked about God's love. These girls were on a fast track to becoming prostitutes for the Russian Mafia. One of the girls when asked to tell her story of salvation said simply this, "No one knew me." The Missionaries told her that Jesus loved her and she didn't know why. She was intrigued. Jesus loved her when she didn't even love her. That to her was God's love. He loved everyone freely and she was glad to do His work because of that. Needless to say there was not a dry eye in the house. This girl who barely speaks english just simplified the greatest thing that ever happened to any of us. Praise God for His love of us. Even when no one "knows us" God will always be there.

I read your blog. I check my e-mail, check your blog, check my blog. When there is something posted, it makes my day. I'm prejudiced, I know.
This story is is exactly why we need to show God's love. Not teach people how to practice church correctly. Thanks for sharing.
