Tell your own story

Tell you own story

Yes, it all so very sad, and sometimes even very blue,
These words that I heard from my beloved Lord and my
Precious Savior, Jesus Christ, are so very true.

"If you don't tell your own story, somebody else will, and
You may not like what they say and what they write about
You."

"How many of you, on Pondrin, exactly know what an
'internet troll is?"

Sometimes people are expressing their honest personal
And sometimes educational disbelief's. About both Jesus
Christ and His Holy Bible.

Can they also be classified as internet trolls?

No, because they are not either sabotaging your personal
Biblical belief's nor launching personal libelous attacks
Against your character or against you.

Because genuine internet trolls; lambaste you with their
Written witty words that would be considered libelous
In any court of law.  Their attacks are not just unkind it
Is true.  Because they also attack your personal faith in
Jesus Christ, too.

"It really doesn't matter what they say about me?"

Is that rhetorical just exactly true blue?

No, but very sincerely, I would like it to be. Without resorting
To on-line internet revenge.   It is better, not sweet, or even
Bittersweet!

But what they troll about Jesus Christ does both worry and
And also bother me, personally. Why don't all of those internet
Trolls know that when they insult and belittle Jesus Christ? They
Are actively fighting against the Lord God Almighty Creator of
Heaven and Earth?

How many of you remember about the highly profitable era of
"Unauthorized biographies?

Usually they were writers and poets viciously and  libelous attacking
Their own parent such as the book by the daughter of Joan Crawford,
"Mommy Dearest." Was what she wrote even true? Sad to say it was.

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

Have I exchanged harsh words but more recently ignored my very own
Personal internet trolls? Yes, I have.

Do I need to be able to understand them?

And perceive where they are coming from?

Yes, I really need to be able to do so with God's help.
Nothing is impossible because I belief in Jesus Christ.

Stand up Stand for Jesus
Ye solders of the cross.
Lift high His royal banner,
It shall not suffer loss.
From victory unto to victory
His army He shall lead.
Till ev'ry foe is vanquished
And Chris is  Lord indeed.***

Yes, Jesus Christ can defend Himself
Without our help. But still we need to be
Both brave and bold and make certain.
That the absolute truth about our very
Best friend, Jesus Christ is told.

All of my love and my devotion
in Christ Jesus,
