Thank you once again for expounding in simple terms and answering questions that have been in my mind for a lifetime but explained away in ways that just never made sense to me. (Example Simon). There are other passages where the common held applications have raised more questions than answers for me. If nothing else, I’m learning to decipher for myself and dig deeper for my own understanding not relying on just what I’ve always been taught. I am humbled to serve a merciful and loving God. In gratitude, I seek to follow His will in all ways. I stumble sometimes daily but I know He knows my heart and He molds me and makes me stronger in my faith also daily. He is not willing that I should perish but that I should have everlasting life.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words. It’s truly humbling to know that this has helped bring clarity to questions that have been on your mind for a long time. It’s a comfort to know that, even when we stumble, God is always there, molding and strengthening us through His mercy and love. Your reflections are deeply inspiring to me. Keep seeking, keep growing, and remember that God is with you every step of the way!

Appreciate you so much!
