There are lots of reason those ladies might have backed off and if it was wrong judgement God will deal with their hearts. I think it's up to us not to fall into a judgement on them. <br /><br />You are a good writer, blessings on your new book.

Anysay, we don't come in contact with the homeless, but a church near by feeds then twice a week for lunch. They are always asking for good like new tennis shoes, so I scan the thrift shop when I am out and since we don't have personal tennis shoes worth giving at our house, this works for me!a joyful noisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712092116466408490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254066980782889853.post-65864518016944904062012-10-22T05:58:33.905-07:002012-10-22T05:58:33.905-07:00Yes, grace is found in the messy.

Being in the presence of who Jesus would have been in the presence of. And God does the rest. I also think of Luke 6:32. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them." Oh, that we might love with His heart...fully, completely, utterly undone. That all might be brought to the fullness of His Kingdom.

And right you are, Kristin. God is willing to step into the messy places of our lives and pull us up. As His children, we should do the same, showing the love God has shown to us.
