Well, at least that's what Jesus said when there was a storm in his world. Let me speak, if just for a moment, on my own behalf. I find it disheartening and even unholy to diminish the pure works of God. Yet, it happens in life every day and, more defined to this situation, it happens on forums. It's not the first time and it's not going to be the last.
Mind you, I'm not going to step in to defend myself on this issue. I've done nothing wrong and, sincerely, done what I could right to glorify the God who deserves it. The beautiful part of it is that, while "Peace, be still" needs to be spoken in this situation, this storm DOES have a 'silver lining'.
What might that be? It has become obvious to me that I have already been vindicated in this situation. I have the respect and confidence of those that matter to me. Those who don't know me seem to have varying opinions. However, those that know me have confidence in my ministry and spiritual perception.
I can only thank those of you who have felt a need to defend my integrity. (No, I haven't talked about my intention to post a reply with Coonskinner) While disheartening that some would question my integrity and assault the manifested gift that God put in our Evangelist I have to confess... I'm more humbled by those who have confidence in me than I am frustrated at those who don't. :sshhh
I've consistently loved people and consistently been stable in doctrine and my pursuit of a righteous lifestlye. It has paid off in blessings on every hand. NOBODY can take that way from me. Not in this life and surely not on a forum!
Blessings on those of you who felt a need to defend my integrity. Blessings on you that have done the opposite. Surely you need it to restore what you've evidently lost in God along the way.
I need nothing more. In fact, I have what matters most... my integrity intact and my reputation solidified in the hearts of friends.
God is good...
