God's Open Arms
“Keep your roots deep in him and have your lives built on him.”Colossians 2:6
The people God used to change history were a ragbag of ne’er-do-wells and has-beens who found hope, not in their performance, but in God’s proverbially open arms.
Let’s start with Abraham. Though eulogized by Paul for his faith, this Father of a Nation wasn’t without his weaknesses. He had a fibbing tongue that wouldn’t stop! One time, in order to save his neck, he let the word get out that Sarah wasn’t his wife but his sister, which was only half true. And then, not long later, he did it again! “And there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.”
Twice he traded in his integrity for security. That’s what you call confidence in God’s promises? Can you build a nation on that kind of faith? God can. God took what was good and forgave what was bad and used “old forked tongue” to start a nation.a Max Lucado devotional,

I'm sorry, and I'm sorry.

Regarding that, I really have no idea what's going on...but I'm really wearied out by the.....response if I may call it. What we have between...over these years,is it not worth talking over, or at least clarifying?
I really have no idea, and honestly in my best efforts, remained respectively held back as what I can remember. If this is desired to be the case, I shan't over-step any further then.
Take care.
