Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners — of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:15-16. I know I must “push” or “test” God’s patience, lucky for me, God’s long suffering, patience, and tender mercies have given me grace to carry on.
This is the “clarion call of my heart”.. ( quote by the great Irish preacher, Leslie Hale, from Dublin Ireland.) … What a great scripture…
It is easy to feel unworthy and believe that God chooses to work through “common everyday people”, ( like me)… loving them / me, warts and all, and more importantly, “speaking” through me / them, warts and all. I have learned that my main reason for writing is not that my words are so important, but that God’s words are very important. I realize that success of any measure may not come to me on the side of death; but I hope that I have helped someone along the way, and I believe I have. Perhaps there will be rewards on the other side, it all remains to be seen. Frankie The Earthman.
