Tom,
I totally agree with Joy’s childhood friend. Our God is a God of mercy, love and grace. God sees into our hearts. He desires that we are filled with love for each other and that we love Him. Joy had a heart filled with love. Lean into Jesus and trust Him.
Sometimes in church we sing “Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up”. God does love a humble heart. Trust Him more.
I belong to a church full of misfits. We are imperfect but the Lord is doing amazing work, cleaning each of us up and bringing us closer together as a family in Christ. I pray that you will find a church family to bless you and love on you.
Thank you, SisterK.
I have saved prints of your messages and will look at them again as I try to recover. Good words.
God bless you and yours.
