Thank You
Dear All,
I’ve recently started reading the material on your website. I am in agreement with all you teach.
I’ve read through some of the encouraging questions and replies on your site and some really touched me – enduring to the end, a lonely path…
My wife and I seem to be on opposite sides lately. She thinks I’ve lost my faith. I have nobody to turn to for help, cause none are in agreement with how I think. But I’m so glad for the chance to be reading the material on your site and being encouraged by it.
And so this mail to you guys is just to say THANK YOU.
Take care,
P____
Hi P____,
Thanks for taking the time to write us. This is a team effort and it is a labor of love on the part of that team.
Letters like this make all we do more worthwhile. I am so happy that you are benefiting from the web site.
Be patient with your wife and others, and realize that they are right where God has them for your good and for your growth at this time, as well a for their own good and growth in the long run.
2Co 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
“Many are called but few are chosen” is a lonely calling, but if God grants us the grace to endure to the end, it will all be more than worth it. This verse is just a reminder that we really are loved by the One whose love never leaves nor forsakes us:
Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Your brother in Christ,
Mike
