[Only by Grace]

Dear Steve,
Please forgive me if you felt "drilled" by me, as my post was meant to do nothing of the sort, but rather was meant to encourage you. You post concerning being rejected by those at the church in Bellevue, and your standing at the gate longing for fellowship, literally broke my heart. My post was meant to lovingly say, there are Christian brothers and sisters "on the right and on the left" who would love you, accept you, receive you, and fellowship with you. Arms are open wide...

Again, I am so sorry if I caused you hurt or offended you in any way. I was truly "weeping" with you and for you...I meant you no harm...and certainly my post was not meant to heap more hurt on you...

Praying for you that the Lord will lift your countenance and that He will send brothers and sisters to you who will be used by Him to fill every void and to meet every need...

In Him,
OBG
