Mark's Blog

"We who preach & write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding…If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly." Augustine
Grace to all, Mark Hamby

I read your blog last night...

This is worth sharing…from a mom and wife who attended, with her husband several years ago, a similar seminar to the one that was presented in North Carolina this weekend.  What she has to say needs to be shared…God has given each of us cross to bear and a path to follow…most are not easy, but in the end it will yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mark..I must say...I wept too...but I must confess... my initial  tears werent shared...they were tears of my own heart and soul...that father,...those men who were moved...that should have been mine...!...MY kids father, my husband....we sat in your seminars too only my experience was different...yes, it was a start in my life, major changes in my life, that consequently changed the course of it by measures unfathomable....I cried because of the stark reality that has burdened me this past week...I am heavy hearted this week,...Satan dangles the you are unworthy and unloved card in front of my face, and i confess...i let it work, until I am shaken and come to my senses....Our heavenly gracious Father who knows what is best for us...always will, and always has our best in mind for us...we are so blinded by the fleshly temptations of the devil....He always knows best...for some it works contrary to everything in us and our faith, for others it doesnt....why?.....I still ask...

 

however,....

 

Because God has given you a ministry to touch and reach many....be honored and humbled..rejoice!!...be blessed of the things He has chosen to give you, and has also allowed you to keep......be cherished and know that He understands your heart...pray, I will pray for the ones touched in all of your seminars and weep tears of joy with them....but also...pray for the ones that are hard...for the ones who don't intend to listen to anyone but themselves...man and woman....pray for the children of that family that is unmoved by the Spirit you invite each time you talk...

 

in my morning devotions this morning....these scriptures for  me...to keep a hold of .....I share with you...

 

Matt 6:10..Behold, I sent you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves."....not easy...requires a life of committed faith in the dark...

 

Luke 1:38...'Let it be unto me, according to your word..'.

 

and these two quotes from a book that I hate to adore.....

 

'Man is the only animal that laughs and cries, because he is the only one that can see the difference between the way things are and the way they ought to be'....William Hazlitt

 

'Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced'.....James Baldwin

 

do have a wonderful day....
