Re: The Introduction to 'D'
Gentle Brother, I think he is but learning to walk on new Christian legs for the first time. Like a shaky foal, he is staggering under the weight of the new experience, in the first (blinding) True Light of God™s Love.
These are just my thoughts, Brother. I truly do not mean to contradict, or offer up contrariness.
Can we not offer him True Christian™ mercy, and realize he has been steeped in the devil's sin so long that he cannot think of the niceties of apology, now? Yes, he has persecuted us. But does not the Lord™ bid us in Matthew 5:10 and Matthew 5:11 to welcome the persecution? ("Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." / "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.")
He has joined a Christian community for the first time...and by doing so has taken a great step away from the darkness. PRAISE!
Oh Dear Lord™ on High, please look down on your lost lamb, the Captain, and let him be Born Again™ in your blessed blood. Save him from pernicious temptation, and please please let him learn from You, through us, who are but humble servants unto You. Please let the scales fall from the Captain's eyes, and let him see Your face. Oh Lord™, do let him see Your face. Dear sweet Lord™, let him see the face of Him. In Jesus' name, Amen. Love, your - - - Cookie
