Bible Note: Hello Christy! I pray that you will never forget that the Lord loves you, no matter what color you are, even if you are mixed! Praise the Lord! And you will always be accepted and welcome in His house! I am truly sorry to hear that you have lost a friend because of your skin color. True Christian love says that this should not be! We should love each other in spite of our differences! And praise the Lord that some of us are mixed! For all people have a place in the kingdom of God, and no one is "expendable", my friend!! The Lord has purposely set you on this earth for a Reason, and what better reason could that be than to glorify Him? Praise the Lord! All of your gifts and talents are truly precious to the rest of us who are Christians, my friend, and never forget that the Lord loves you immeasurably, no matter where you came from! And there is no partiality or favoritism in the Lord's sight! You are loved by Him just as much as all of the rest of us, regardless of your skin color. Sometimes it is very hard for even Christians to keep their focus on God! But this requires determination and commitment! In light of what Jesus has done for us, would you really rather do anything but serve Him with all your mind, heart and strength? Does your heart sing with praise every time you worship and hear others speaking about the Lord, our God? Yes! It is hard, because Satan throws every possible assailant into our path.. But we can overcome this! We are more than conquerors through the grace of Jesus Christ! And we can and we will overcome all these terrible schemes of Satan, and we can and we will be focused, pressed onto the ultimate goal, with every evidence of our final victory in sight!! Praise the Lord, and I hope that He will continue to inspire you and press on you with such a unique zeal for Him all the days of your life! Praise the Lord, my friend!! If for once you ever catch yourself with your spiritual focus "down" or you are worried or consumed by other things, then just remember: Jesus Christ was only concerned with one thing and one thing alone- and that was that He could show His love for you, yes, even you, by giving His very life for you! Everything else just pales away when we truly focus on Jesus and our love for Him! I pray that this fact will continue to inspire and breathe life into your precious and glorious Christian walk in all the days of your life! Your Zealous Brother for Christ, Nolan |
