Thank You My Friends At AFF...
 

I want to say a very sincere Thank You to all of you here on AFF for your patience, advice and prayers for me since I came aboard a couple of months ago.

When I first stumbled across this forum, it was by accident really. I'm an ex-UPCer and (I don't mean that in a derogatory sense by any means) when I first arrived here I honestly did not think of myself as being bitter or hostile toward the UPC organization. However, I found myself lashing out and just being downright rude and crude toward those of you who are and toward the organization in general. One person who really tried to talk to me and in a spirit of love, help me to see my bitterness, was Brother Rico. Anyway, I pushed the issue until I finally spent a week in Banland.

During that time, I really had time to meditate on where I was at and the Lord convicted me deeply of my issues with somethings that happened way back when and I surrendered all of that to Him.

My point in this note though is that I just want to thank you all for putting up with me and if you prayed for me, thank you. It has certainly helped me recognize how wrong I was and give it to the Lord and I want to sincerely say to each of you that I love you in Christ and regardless of any differences that we may have, if you are His, then I consider you my brothers and sisters in Him.

May God's abundant grace and blessings rest upon every aspect of each one of your lives and ministry.

Pastor Robbie

Yes it is, but the Lord's mirror always shows us ourselves in the light of truth!

No kidding :(

I like those mirrors that only show other failing when I look at it!

hehe - of course not really.
