“Scripture says this to us all..that we are to sanctify the Lord God in our hearts..and be ready always to give an answer to every man that ask of us the reason of hope that is in us with meekness and fear..1 Peter 3:15..Amen..and yesterday evening after dinner Erik and I began to talk to this man..and before we left the man begins to talk about church and God..and at how he was raised in church and at how he doesn’t believe in the Lord any more..that God isn’t real..Amen..and so of course we get into a discussion and we just began going back and forth about how the Lord is real..Amen..and the guy he tells me I have never had any one preach to me like you are preaching to me..you have a lot of kindness while speaking your truth..and he says I really love you a lot..Amen..but the thing was this that the man was hurt from people in church..and so he considered this to be God..and I told him no that is people..people do things..and say things..and mess up..but that is not God..Amen..and so of course he gets into the conversion about all the bad things that happen in the world..and of course every one always blames God again for all of it..and I tell him again..no God made the world perfect..but sin entered into it..because of Adam and Eve and their disobedience..so we now live in a fallen world..Romans 5:12-17..Amen!”

“And so then Erik speaks up and says its not God that makes things bad for us..that is our choosing..we have free will to do whatever we so desire..because the Lord doesn’t make any of us do anything..Amen..and he goes on to say to the man that it is the enemy of our very souls that does the bad things in this world that we live..Amen..its not God..but by the end of it all..the guy says to us that he prays that we are blessed always..and so Erik shook his hand and I reached over and gave him a big hug..Amen..so I pray that what was said changes this mans heart just a little more towards the Lord our God..Amen..because God loves this man..and the guy says as I am speaking to you Mandi..I am as well seeing how much hate I have in my heart..and I said to him hurt does that..but God will heal you..and I left him with this..that it is always a one on one relationship with God..and when you know that you know..no one can change your mind and your love for the Lord..it will be there always in your heart..Amen..so again I say all of this to say to each of us always be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in you..the hope of glory..the hope of love..the hope of freedom to everyone whom would ask of you the reason for your love towards the Lord our God..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
