The fact that many people don’t bother to check facts is a big problem fueling the tension in your country (USA) and many others.

Either way, we are grateful for your words.

She died in an auto accident when I was five, I speak to her often during my prayer time and this morning was no exception. Thank you for sharing this very relatable example of God’s wondrous Love, the deep sense of knowing we are ALL beloved by Jesus✝️ Father♥️And The Holy Spirit?. It was in Encountering Christ and discovering God’s ♥️ that I knew beyond a doubt that God Loved me. He clearly spoke to my heart, saying, “Just let me love you,”, You don’t need to earn my Love.”

Puff from this day forward this is how it is! I loved Laura’s reflection! I struggle daily with my love for God, for Jesus and how completely sinful I am, heck we all are and the FACT overwhelms me how we are still so loved. Laura illustrated this so beautifully today. Please I mean no disrespect, however sometimes being stuck on doctrine fact checks brings out that distasteful like aura clouding everything in our country today! Laura brought a feeling, a point of view, that shared a deeper meaning to Gods love for us, all of us sinners. A peek at seeing, loving, and cutting through the dirt, the filth, the swamp and to the goodness of our souls. I love that!

Well, I certainly learned something new today! I knew there was some dispute about this, which is why I used the term “some people” believe Mary Magdalene may have been a prostitute. I sure didn’t know that it had been definitively settled though. Thanks for letting us know!
