Thank you for this! I used to pray to God because I didn’t want God to be angry with me. I didn’t realize how much the fear of God’s judgment shaped me, my faith, and my life. Over the years, I have come to a place where I do dwell in the shelter of God’s love and grace, and it has changed me. I am grateful! Your writings continue to open me up to God’s living presence in me, through me. I continue to pray for my adult sons who have turned away from church. I know Jesus, the great Shepherd, continues to search for them. I pray they, and their families, will open up to God’s great love. In the meantime, I continue to love them and share my humanity and grace with them. Your writings teach, encourage and comfort me. Thank you. May God’s grace and healing rest in you.
