Who Am I? I Am in Truth and Love.

As a missionary I get the privilege to talk to people from all walks of life, regardless of color, social status, background, denomination.  I have also seen the Pastor of our church plant here, speak, teach, and provide personal guidance in situations that require tough love in their situations.  

Despite the divisions culture, society, and even religion have created; love speaks.  Out of love, one can speak God's Word boldly to those who are hurting or in need, and they receive it, knowing it as Truth.

Sometimes we are required to cross many lines as we speak into someone's life, especially if it is correction or facing something the recipient does not desire to hear.  Out of love, one can be reached, doors are opened, and the Word received.  

"One time, a great black pastor told me, 'Jesse, you can get away with saying things in my church that no white man has ever been able to get away with.'  We talked about it for a little while and then he told me, 'It's because they know you love them.' "  ---Jesse Duplantis

I have  seen people changed in the course of one afternoon, because they were able to receive a TRUTH, a Word, given in LOVE.  

Love is an encouragement to those who hear it.  This does not mean the words spoken were easy to hear.   Hearing the truth is not usually easy, but when spoken in love people understand that God wants the best for them.  

As a FATHER, He wants them free and out of bondage.  

They hear Him, because He loves them.
