Aware that I had not written
or posted my Year of 5,000 Books, yesterday morning I awoke intent on doing
that in the A.M. However, a call from my friend Jane alerted me to the fact
that pornographic spam had been posted on my Facebook page. The drama that ensued
before she helped me eradicate it, unfriending the creep that tagged me and my
believing friends rallying around me reminded me of the security we believers
have. Here I’m using the word security in an earthly way as I speak about the those
friends who absolutely knew that I would never do a thing like that! Now you
might think they said that because outside of cyberspace we know each other. But
except for 250 give or take of my 1,850 Facebook friends we have never met. If you’re
wondering why I’m not trying to spin the situation like Annie did at the end of
the musical by the same name when she sang, “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” let
me share that the good news and what helped me most
yesterday was that though we might be besieged on all sides, in Messiah we have
the assurance that whatever comes God will use it for good. Romans 5:8 says, “But God
demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ
died for us.”
Perhaps because
today is a day where I’m not confronted with unwanted, unwarranted pornography
on my page, I’m asking you what would you do, who would you turn to if what
happened to me happened to you? If you don’t know you might want to read Gods
Word and consider his invitation. I’m praying for you my friend. In fact I’m
praying for the darkened soul of the person that might have caused me great
pain if I did not have a personal relationship with the Lover of My Soul.

Hi, I would do exactly what you did...delete it and write a blog article about it! We know what it is to have God loving us...We may falter and fail sometimes, but still God loves us...
And if someone attacks us, we can stand strong in His strength. And use it as a testimony...
Best,
Glenda
.I know that we live in a fallen world. How sad it is for those of us who know Messiah to see the way other act, yet without seeing it how would we know what to share and when.
