" Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing. And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice." Luke 23:34 NLT

Dear Sister Jenise, this morning as I began to to respond to this letter I heard an explosion, and then the electricity went out in the neighborhood.

The power is still out so I only have my cell phone now which makes things more difficult. I am leaving with you a few Bible verses and a song that speaks loudly about what was spoken in this letter. I hope this simple response will bring comfort and encouragement

"Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." Psalm 136:1 NKJB

Father, help us all to forgive those who have caused great sorrow for us and others, and forgive us of our sins so we will know how to be merciful to others. May Your Love cover the multitude of all our sins we pray, in Jesus' Holy Name. Amen. 🙏

Father of mercies

"Great are Your compassions, and Your mercies are everlasting, LORD of grace, for Your arms are open wide, and Your heart, Your heart is close, to all the brokenhearted, Abba, Father of mercies, and all comfort, who comforts us, in all our sorrows, Father, Father of mercies" ---

GOD bless you all!

Thank you for featuring my article. It's a difficult time. I also think we should acknowledge the congregations that are the silent victims. A pastor is such a trusted leader to break that trust can be quite jarring. I've been praying for these folks in particular. That they might not fall away because of the sin of one man.
