Emily Pfaff on Letters from an American

[Emily Pfaff]

Carol, I fear many of the faithful are listening to others fill them with their opinions and their interpretations of scripture.

Jesus loved everyone. He did not force Himself on anyone. When He spoke to people, or individuals, they experenced the inner knowledge that He knew them to the depth of their souls. Those who choose or chose to listen were free to receive Him or free to reject Him. He doesn't need our money or allegiance....He doesn't need us at all. For those who want to know Him and to receive Him....they are free to do so. One may discover more about Him through reading the Bible but we may also learn

of Him from others.

Actually He loves Republicans and Democrats, and even Independants. He loves people of all colors, shapes and sizes. He loves people from all over the world. He even loves people of other faiths or no faiths. If anyone wants to know Him better, just ask in your heart. You may or may not experience Him in your life immediately but He will come to you, you will see Him....maybe through another person's acts.

When we receive Him and experience His love and forgiveness and encouragement, we often want to emulate that love through some expression of service and sharing and acts of encouragement.

Also choosing to receive Him does not make us "little Jesuses". We still mess up but we can always ask for forgiveness. Look at President Joe Biden and his wife Jill. Look at the way they live, look at their priorities....what do you think? Do they know Jesus?

You might want to check out the sunrise prayer service that Faithful America held in front of the Capitol yesterday morning. I think you would really find it of interest.
