Letter to My Children (September 19, 2013)
Dear dear children,
I love and weep each morning for you to return. My heart is toward you, please turn your hearts toward your mom and dad and sister and nephew and all our relatives and friends again. We hide nothing, we are walking in the light. We speak, please listen. If you are shutting out our voices, that is not the way of truth, light, the Way of God. He hides nothing but instead reveals openly for the whole world to see. He restores, and causes men to make restitution, and straightens things that are lame or crooked. He exposes corruption, he exposes lies, he exposes darkness with the Light and the Truth. You do not need to be afraid of being drawn away or enticed by someone else, only by the sin in our own hearts are we enticed. I am not afraid of you or of Pastor Scott, I would be so glad to come down right away and see you all and talk to anyone you like. Only let us be reconciled that the Gospel be not evil spoken of any longer in our lives.
Right now, people even Pastors have shared that our situation so tarnishes the gospel and the ministry of pastors to shepherd. Because it causes folks not to trust pastors, and to cause the way of Truth to be evil spoken of. The prayer below in the devotional, is one I have prayed often, that your hearts would be turned toward us, and ours to you. That God may be glorified.
Love and hugs and tears always,
your mom
