Julie I THANK YOU... Thank you for being bold, thank you for being a true servant leader, thank you for having such a profound impact on my life for so many years maybe without even recognizing it. The way you communicate resonates so deeply with my soul. The transparency in your journey, your perspective, the work you put in behind the scenes to create such powerful feelings with your words is something I am eternally grateful for. THANK YOU for this post...

This is so powerful! Thank you for your boldness and faithfulness in sharing God's Word (His heart). People forget that to point one finger in accusation at someone means having 3 pointing back at yourself.

Thank you.

The first thing that came to mind was the story of Jesus with the woman taken in adultery who was about to be stoned - her accusers disappeared when He said that the one without sin could cast the first stone.

The second thing is to appreciate how succinctly you put God's point of view: “I am the author and the finisher of this covenant. You have DONE nothing to earn it. I started it. I will finish it.”

It’sww easy to toss the stone when you’re looking on somebody else’s problems it’s harder to see and admit our own. This is such a good article. I feel for the whole family on both sides.

Amen! A great reminder that our righteous is nothing but filthy rags, but oh for the blood of Jesus that makes us clean and whole as we repent.
