“For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.” 2 Cor 2:4
After having read 2 Cor 2:4, I understood in a small way, the pain Our Lord endured because of our rejection toward Him. It drew my attention to the Holy Family, their suffering, their lives and the love they demonstrated. I realized that the pain our Lord exemplified in his humiliation and suffering, helps us to understand true love, a love beyond our understanding. The events in our lives can teach us much, if we look for the victory in the lives of Jesus and the Holy Family.
I realized the measure of my love was microscopic compared to the love Jesus has for us. In that moment, I decided to increase my devotion to the Lord and my life changed. I later understood that my heartbreak was for the glory of God so that I could come to know and love Him. I could understand in a small way how unconditional forgiveness is healing and intertwined with unconditional love in the worst of circumstances. Jesus died so that we could learn to love Him, and to love like Him. He suffered so that we could try to relate and understand how someone could still love someone else who has been so rebellious or whose actions were heartbreaking and unbearable to us in the flesh. He came to teach us to forgive, to love and to be like Him. His immeasurable and glorious love is beyond our understanding and at our grasp, yet, we constantly turn away from it.
He says to be perfect as my Father is perfect. He even left us instructions on how to reach that perfection. We still ignore Him, disobedience is natural in us, we don’t know how to love unconditionally as He does. Maybe we are afraid to let our barriers down.
Unfortunately, even those who think they have not rejected Christ, have rejected Christ. Even those who think themselves filled with sanctity, are not, they are pharisees in today’s world. The Christian communities are all scattered. All are guilty of not living in unconditional love like Our Lord taught. He says if you are for me you gather. It is imperative that all Christians unite in unconditional love. The Lord came to divide the kingdom of Satan. He came to gather His Army for the salvation of all. The Lord desires that ALL will be saved, the living and the dead, there is hope! You will understand better once you read the books.
Will you follow Jesus? He is the instructions! He clearly tells us in His word what to do. Will you do your part? Will you be part of the finale?
Brief notes about the books:
I have a friend that told me that reading ONE, One Love One Hope One God, changed her life. I hope that this book will enhance the love of God in each of our hearts. That was the first book the Lord led me to write.
We Lay Down Our Crown, Sealed by the Spirit of God was the second book written. The Lord used my hands to type Sealed by the Spirit of God, so you discern.
The third book was entitled The Great Deliverance, Stop a Grieving World. It was originally published in 2010 and has been republished in 2023 in a green cover with a white leaf. All three books were dormant since I did not have funds to promote them. In June of 2022 I got a call in the same week, from two different publishing companies regarding the same book: The Great Deliverance, Stop a Grieving World. I was stunned, and believed the Lord is going to move this book.
Jesus Christ the Warrior is a revision to the The Great Deliverance with new revelations. I was amazed in June of 2022 when I started sleeping in sackcloth again and the Lord began to enlighten me again. The revelations in this book are amazing bringing understanding to some scriptures I had always questioned. He tells us to be Perfect as His Father is Perfect. There is only one way to attain perfection as noted in this book. I am no different than you, the Lord made a covenant to each one of us. He wants to teach us all the same. Believe and be open to it. God is so very real and so loving.
Also in 2022 I published another book entitled: Sackcloth and Ashes, the Dead in Christ Shall Rise First. This book explains how I was drawn to repent in sackcloth and ashes in 2004 and then sleep in it until 2011 when my mom passed away. The dead will rise first, but I believe we need to help them, pray for them and confess for them. We must forgive those who are deceased and have offended us in any way and ask the Lord to have mercy on them too.
