God's Blessings

Editor, Times-Union:

Arguing God: I read your letter and you make your point clear.

I also struggle with man-made religion. It was religious leaders who condemned my Lord. Their fears, jealousy and insecurity killed an innocent man. Because of his death, with faith I am saved.

You ask people not to write about God. Yet, aren't we to respect how you believe?

I believe my life it truly blessed. I have stepped out of the bets of "worldly hell."

God shows me my enemies, the lies, back stabbing, hatefulness and unkindness. I don't have to hate them or get even. I watch some go to church on Sunday being righteous and all knowing. I can walk in a room and know my enemies. Yet I need to show them the love, kindness, forgiveness my Lord and savior gave to me.

I am a Christian. I fail terribly on my own. Without my Lord's help, I would have no direction. I get hurt, angry, resentful at times. Yet several of the greatest gift is I don't have to get even. I can give my sins to my Lord, knowing with his help, and my willingness to be honest, he'll give me strength. Being a Christian isn't always the easiest walk, but I don't walk alone.

I hope your heart will open, and your life gets better.

God bless.
