Greetings and peace be with you BowlOfGumbo;
But today someone told me the worst thing I’ve ever been told.
Sadly, it is almost impossible to escape these kind of comments wherever you live. Sometimes I think people say these things to challenge your faith, they may not really mean what they say. Some while ago; I helped break up a fight between two angry lads. One of the lads said, you'r f...... Christians, you are supposed to forgive, would you forgive me if I stabbed your f....... mother in the face and raped her?
I said it is better to forgive than to hate, and he walked off. A couple of weeks later; he was with some of his mates when he saw me from across the road, he crossed over and shook my hand, he did not say much, but it was enough to know that he had had a change of heart.
Never give up hope by trying to do what is right, you will be tested.
Blessings
Eric
