ZNP,

I too have had disagreement with some of the things that have happened. I didn't always agree with what was shared by the brothers. Sometimes I was publicly left blinking and blushing. There were times I believed I wouldn't be able to go on in the Lords Recovery unless something changed. There were periods I stayed away.

However, whenever I reached out to talk to the leading brothers or Brother Lee they never turned me down, they were always genuinely concerned about my concerns, and I always received help from them, and was restored in my heart to the fellowship in life.

I love these brothers with all their faults, shortcomings, and missteps. Not just because of the personal help that draws me closer to Him, but because the love they have for the Lord, their consecration to the ministry of life, and their willingness to suffer in this life for the reward of the future. I really consider them as brothers and as such I never broached an issue with them in the way of demanding answers or expecting them to clear something up to my satisfaction. Rather, I shared what was bothering me and how it was impacting me. They always stepped into the gap with a healing word or an offer for fellowship.

Don't misunderstand, there were brothers or sisters that I knew were to be avoided or ignored. I figured those dear ones needed more life, just like me. Sometimes I had to deal with something head on. But an attitude of standing for the truth coupled with a heart to restore and a view to the judgement seat of Christ usually carried the day. When it didn't I just trusted the Lord so that I did not carry the offense in me. He has not commissioned me to straighten everyone else out. Eventually He will set everything and everyone in order.

Grace,
Drake
