Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

For the past few days I have been filled with such a thankfulness for you. Recently, Jesus let me see a young girl (who has shown a heart for God), and the church and pastor she is under, on a video on fb.\u00a0 My heart still hurts for what she is being fed.\u00a0 Then I read your email on the gentleman who was crying out to God over homosexual thoughts and fears and misconceptions.\u00a0 The love in your answer struck my heart so deep.\u00a0 The purity of the truth and guidance and love you have to give him from Jesus is what will save that man\u2019s soul.\u00a0 I wanted to just run to you and hug you.\u00a0 I just wanted to thank you for loving Jesus and for holding His standard.<\/span><\/p>\n

I got in my car today and asked Jesus to pick me a song from our music.\u00a0 The song that came on was “Heaven is my Goal”.\u00a0 The thankfulness hit me again and all I could do was weep.\u00a0 Heaven is my goal, Pastor John.\u00a0 That is so beautiful to me.\u00a0 I was never going to be pure enough to spend eternity with Jesus.\u00a0 I was never going to have that hope of being so pure as to make it in. But my Jesus came one day and washed my sins away.\u00a0 Oh how precious is the purity!\u00a0 The purity of being clean inside and out.\u00a0 The purity of His truth and holiness of His son. Precious and beautiful – those words don’t touch what I am feeling.\u00a0 Just the word purity takes my breath today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know Jesus created me for this life but the act of what he did by making me clean from my sin and filth is so beautiful to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

If I was with you today I would hug you and tell you how thankful I am for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beth<\/span><\/p>\n

===========<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, Beth.\u00a0 Jesus has certainly been merciful to us.\u00a0 May we receive grace to live worthy of it!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

And I love you and Jerry, too!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
