Stockholm syndrome??? :) No, no, no. LOL! We're OK, REALLY. :) This is backwards. With Stockholm syndrome, the bad guys kidnap the good guys and then they change into bad guys (Patty Hearst). In the case of God, the good guys kidnap the bad guys, and then THEY turn into good guys. It's all in reverse and it all comes out for GOOD! :)

Amen! And further, how can anything be stronger or more reassuring than the words of Christ Himself?

"And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" -- Luke 11:9-13

And the promise and assurance and certainty just keep on coming to those who have been given ears to hear His word...

"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." -- Hebrews 9:14-15

I sure can't think of anything, and AMEN, Dr. E. Thanks for the wonderful scripture.
