Christ has taught them. The Father has forgiven them. The Spirit indwells them. They are not the same." <br /><br />I think the same can be said about us...about all who Jesus touches and teaches, and we are not the same as we were before. Yet there are some who experience things that not all do. They are chosen to bear witness to His faithfulness in and through some of the most difficult of circumstances here in this life. Their testimonies shine like bright lights in a dark and hurting world, giving hope to those suffering alone in the darkness and those who are victims of other people's sin. You, my friend, are one of those bright lights shining for Jesus, giving others hope.<br />Keep shining for Him brightly!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179941572125296102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-24522138992573312182011-06-20T09:16:49.005-07:002011-06-20T09:16:49.005-07:00It's the difference between sympathy and empat...It's the difference between sympathy and empathy. I can reach people who have walked your path but maybe wouldn't be as effective speaking about the loss of a child. For me, that would be switched. I think that's why God wants us to tell OUR story -- the authenticity shines through the "true-ness."

Can you imagine how your testimony uplifts another perhaps ecperiencing some of what you did?? You may never know who hears the Lord and receives healing through your words...because often the ones most profoundly touched, say nothing. It is wonderful after the pain, to see the rainbow.

Freedom in Christ is like no other experience imaginable for me. You're right, the things we experience in our lives help to prepare us for understanding that the grace of God will both lead and keep us free from the bondage of pain and shame.<br /><br />If there is a digital recording available, I would love to listen to your upcoming July 6th event (<i>let me know</i>).<br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a><br /><br /><i>PS: I'm glad the comment post works for me again.</i>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-64292035297297033462011-06-18T10:09:46.120-07:002011-06-18T10:09:46.120-07:00I, too, see that my life's story is actually G...I, too, see that my life's story is actually God's story and He wants me to share it.
