Since the heart is only known by God, how can we be SURE?

Her life story was heart wrenching, her father neglecter her, she was motherless and was sent to a convent where she was abused for many years.


During her speech, although she came to know God she always struggled with the thought of "does God really love me?"

I can't help recall this, because of what we are talking about on this thread. I just really feel other people struggle with that question because of the way they were threated by someone (namely fathers here).

We must forgive, but we also need healing as well.

Amen!

On another line of thought - We have to be careful how people read us as Christians. We are, in many ways, their perception of the God we serve.
