Last of James

Hello all, I am a little overwhelmed this week by life, God, unbelief in others (in a liberal campus) and the sin that pervades this world. When I read the last verse of James, I saw a note I had written there years ago. It read, "See souls. Be brave." I needed to hear that verse about turning a sinner from the error of his way. Because so often I become discouraged by the unbelief around me and the efforts of others to destroy God's name. God sees them aright. He loves them so much. He does not weaken at the sight of them. He only loves perfectly. I need to be brave enough to love them, and I need to be filled up on his love. I am so amazed at how he picks me up each day. I am disheveled and I let doubts, worries, and insecurities plague me at times. But he forgives and encourages me to keep moving forward. He turns me from the errors of my ways and says, "See...look what I have done for you!" I'm so glad for his perfect walk and his courage and selflessness to the cross, that he lives for me! And for you! Though we are dying, we are alive...and the hope of heaven is sweeter than ever. Thanks to everyone for sincere faith and loving words. I am so incredibly blessed by the Word of God in my heart, and for the breath of God in the words you have taken time to write. It is good to share faith with you all. Thank you. So much. Love, Paula
