Hello There Tenac.. I just love to hear those kind of inspired Dreams and Thoughts. God is so interesting. He shows us over and over how merciful He is and even in your dream, He gave some of those scoffers, a SECOND chance again.
It is so difficult to be A Christ Follower anyday, let alone, when big changes happen and Huge temptations in your weakest areas. Whew. I am so thankful for your testamony, that of our Pastor, who has similar story, and those that have learned that life is an ongoing story of mistakes and repentance and forgiveness. Only Forgiveness and Mercy abound from THE ONE and ONLY GOD.
Even as the Holy Spirit dwells in us, He gives us the warnings to SHAPE UP, not to hurt us, but that we will hurt ourselves.
Someone said the other day, That Sin is about Relationship. That to remember He loves us and as a parent loves his child, no matter what he does, but when he does things, that hurts the parent, and the child is not listening or stubborn...
He is always ready to welcome us back. ALWAYS.
WOW. Thanks, Man. Stormy!!
