My Empathy Principle

I persist to reach your heart, resist selfish dart, insist truth-love*'s part.

*1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

Oh the darts of the enemy Beata.. We have our Parts to play there though.' How much do we give to Yeshua.? Not enough as He understands Enough.' So that is why some end up under Heavy attack.' It's mostly that they have been Flippant with their grace..) something they have Done or not done, allows satan a foothold or God has allowed him a certain time to sift us As happened with Peter.' Well worth the post God bless, I have soupmailed you btw.'
