Guest Speaker Debbie Douglas shares: God loved me always. He knew me always and even gave me glimpses, as a little girl, of who He is. But religion could not carry me closer to a far-away, seemly remote God. As someone shared Truth with my husband and me, we were thrilled to find out about grace, through Jesus; but pride and unrepentance kept me from experiencing His magnificent love. The Word of God has pierced my heart through His Spirit and His splendor overwhelms me at times. HE is pure love, personal, intimate...a forever relationship. Now I see.
