To hear God say exactly Who He is - He is the God of love and mercy and forgiveness. And even if you did lose the house and died of starvation, that forgiveness is, in the end, enough.

I think that there are too many people (us included) who won't allow it!<br /><br />But as important as that is, it's still not the most important thing. The most important thing is that God forgives you for your "stupidness."<br /><br />Something I find myself in constant need of remembering here lately...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758761220359925930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-50258335780957956692010-01-06T12:11:43.295-06:002010-01-06T12:11:43.295-06:00It's not "stupid" it's "dep...It's not "stupid" it's "depression."<br /><br />That's depression talking.
