Thanks. As I told Frank, "Authentic Grace is a gift that comes wrapped in pain & suffering." Jesus asked us to share in His sufferings, and that is no easy task.

That's so true Stephen, very wise words! It's not easy, it's a struggle for me to embrace Jesus' words when He says; "They hated me so they will hate you too". But many times, if I had not experienced those moments of hate and rejection, I would not have grown in intimacy with Jesus.

Thank you Stephen Phinney and Frank Friedman so very true your entire message. I feel loved and encouraged . As I said before no one would believe the insanity I face day and night with the attacks from the drugs and hatred spewed out toward me and I am positive towards others inosent people who are unaware why they are sick or dissy heart beating and harrased.

This is a street gang organized and if any one would investigate the activity would stop for a short time.

I am writing because I feel safe here I know you believe me and you care. Thank you for your encouragement. Kathy

Thank you Stephen and Frank your thoughts on pain and suffering have blessed and are healing many areas of my life my inner beeing.

Every word every story have touched me in some way.

I think its the honesty no pretending here .

I am deeply encouraged and Stephen my heart goes out to you not in order to fix you ( I have a mercy gift its in my nature to respond to pain) I too am limited with my legs and the drug activity is often so great it effects my balance.

But yes experiencing God's love his words. Rejected by men but Holy and Precious we in his sight.

His fellowship in my pain and suffering is the key may i let this experience sink in deeply. Because it is the answer.

So to your question is God using you this podcast its healing me in areas I did not think could be healed because like Susie's story we are so damaged but yet we are so matter afact about it as children who have no worth don't seem to matter .

Except we do matter to the one who matters the most.

Thank you both you impacted my life deeply. By your teaching I also know I matter to you. Sending you God's holy and precious love. Kathy
