Why should you care?" I believe that this, as with everything in life, was no coincidence :). We are greatly challenged and blessed by your words, and we keep you all in our prayers. What an incredible reminder to us first world Christians to not waste the days God has given us. <br /><br />SarahSaraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064385227565027230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483745665811240800.post-39230586282753393382012-11-11T08:11:42.432+02:002012-11-11T08:11:42.432+02:00Thank you so much for speaking in to this Sarah. ...Thank you so much for speaking in to this Sarah. I really struggled yesterday when I truly realized that my sin is the same, but gave thanks that I can repent and be forgiven. Whew! Thanks for introducing yourself too.

You don't know me, but I know ...Dear Janine,<br /> You don't know me, but I know you very well through your words over the last several months. I haven't commented before because words always fail me when I wonder how to encourage someone that God has used so much in my own life. Suffice it to say that right now, you are one that the Scriptures tell us is privileged to share in the sufferings of Jesus Christ. How His heart weeps for the foolish children of this world, and yet He is patient with us. "The longsuffering of our God is salvation" (2 Peter 3:15). <br />I am so grateful that He forgives sins, from the small ones that I pretend hurt no one, to the ones like this that make the world stop and mourn. I will be praying for you and your community, but especially for this teenage boy who has become a murderer for the pleasure of others. May God have mercy on his broken, needy soul.<br /><br />Thank you for your faithfulness,<br />Sarah WilsonSaraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064385227565027230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483745665811240800.post-70058576254620140172012-11-10T14:54:49.260+02:002012-11-10T14:54:49.260+02:00Dear Janine

Adultery and murder! He became a broken man calling on his God for forgiveness. He needed a clean heart and joy restored, and feared losing the presence of of God and His Holy Spirit in his life. <br />I pray to God that each one of us will prayerfully examine our hearts and seek God's forgiveness and cling to His presence in our lives.<br />I pray for His comfort and mercies to be ever present in those that have been hurt by this evil.<br /><br /><br />In His love......KathleenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884903804689476416noreply@blogger.com
