You are part of a

“To accept people is to be for them. It is to recognize that it is a very good thing that these people are alive, and to long for the best for them. It does not, of course mean to approve of everything they do. It means to continue to want what is best for their souls no matter what they do.”

I want to close with this little poem entitled “Jesus” written by Charlotte S.C. Panton.
Lonely? No, not lonely
With Jesus standing by;
His presence always cheers me,
