Hello, my awesome LORD,
It has been quite a long time since I last wrote to You. I know I created two blogs and dedicated them to You because I wanted to serve You by writing about You with the hopes that You would use these blogs as tools to draw Your elect to Yourself. I confess that I feel guilty about abandoning my blogs. I feel that I have let You down. But then, You have led me into paths that are, as always, unexpected, and these days I find myself serving You in the Sold Out Ministry forum.
You know that at times I feel lonely for Christian company, and I have talked to You about this in my prayers. I have asked You to lead me to a faithful church congregation, but then my physical limitations tell me that going out and travelling every week may not be possible. Well, my loving Almighty LORD, I guess You decided to give me the next best thing. You gave me a group of brothers and sisters in Christ over the Internet, so I do not have to worry about travelling anywhere. I know, I know, the forum is no substitute for church, but I have to say that, for me, it is the next best thing.
Now I find myself among these brethren, loving them, caring about their spiritual health and worrying about them. I love them because we all come together at the foot of the cross, and they are all so precious to You, for Your Son Jesus purchased them with His blood. I care about them because, as You Yourself told us in Your Scriptures, there is so much apostasy and deception out there in the religious world, and I do not want my forum brethren to fall into any traps of false doctrines or unbiblical beliefs. I worry about them because I want to see them grow and mature, I want to see them all become stronger and stronger in the faith, as we all go on our collective pilgrimage through this Earth towards that sweetest of destinations, our celestial dwelling.
My loving Father, these brothers and sisters may not know, but You certainly know, what they are doing for me as I try to serve them in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I know You put me in this little group of brothers and sisters so that I may learn to be firm about the things of Scripture without judging, criticizing or looking down on others. You put me in this little group so that I may learn to share Your things in a loving, gentle way. Oh, my God and my LORD, please help me do this. Please help me to be gentle and humble, not critical or, heaven forbid, arrogant. I know You put me in this little group so that I may learn patience. Precious LORD of hosts, help me do this.
I wanted a congregation, I wanted to feel useful to You, and You heard and answered my prayers in a most creative way. I thank You for technology and the Internet, because these allow me to serve, and through these resources many people in the world, especially people like me, to whom it is difficult to leave the house, can access Your sacred Word and the true gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Funny, LORD, You know that, when I got ready to write this blog entry, I was going to write about how I was feeling sad today and how I was pleading for You to lift my spirit. You simply took me on a different direction as soon as I started to write. I do not feel sad anymore, no need to write about that. Thank You, thank You, thank You, blessed and most beautiful Holy Spirit, for Your sure remedy against my sadness wich never, ever fails.
Well, my sweet LORD, I guess this super long post is kind of making up for the long absence. Bless and keep my brethren from the Sold Out ministry forum and others who are also Your children. Please forgive me if, at any point, I have offended anyone, and help me avoid doing so. Give to each and every saint on Earth what is perfect for him or her, according to Your will and purpose. Thank You, oh LORD, for Jesus, our Great High Priest, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Your daughter forever,
Zoraida
Zoraida,
This is absolutely beautiful! Funny, I too feel better after and as I write. It too is good therapy for me. I do not voice things very well verbally so I am more comfortable writing. You have a beautiful spirit and soul.
I just want to say that I really enjoy your blog and am interested in becoming friends. Feel free to add me to the socializer if you want and anyone else can do the same.
