This was a question that I was asked about one of my recent devotionals. To be clear, everything that I write about my life is exactly how I feel at the time, and even though it may seem wrong to some, it is also an encouragement to others. The thoughts that go through my mind and the feelings and emotions that I work through on a daily basis may not seem pretty to the rest of the world, but I believe it is why I am who I am. I do not write what I do to offend, but I also do not write what I do, not to offend. I do not write what I do to please people. Ultimately, I pray that I am led by the Holy Spirit to write what I do in hopes of pleasing God, encouraging the believers, strengthening the church, warning of sin, raising awareness of certain problems and issues, in the long run in hope of leading at least one person to Jesus, and as many who are willing closer to repentance. My remorse in sharing what I do is that others come to understand that I struggle in many different ways. I question my salvation regularly as I live in this lost and broken world. I am heavily convicted when I read what is written in *Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).* This is one of those verses that I cling to, but that others distance themselves from or skip over because it is uncomfortable. I like what Charles Spurgeon said, “The unsaved sinner loves a salvation from hell. The true Christian loves a salvation from sin. Everyone desires to be saved from the pit, but it is only a child of God who pants to be saved from every false way.” My prayer is simple, Heavenly Father, I pray for all that read what I write, that it will help increase their faith, hope, courage, loyalty, obedience, trust, at the end of all things, their Love for the Lord Jesus leading them to a closer relationship with Him by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ precious and powerful name I pray, Amen. I do want to thank all those who encourage me and support me in the various ways that you do so that I can write what I am led to, you are truly my beloved. And for those that attack, belittle, disparage, or disagree with what I write, thank you as well for you inspire me to write more in hopes to remove the scales from your eyes.
