"I have not written you off.
The world, the church, your family -- may have written you off, but I have not.
The 'church ' (self-appointed) has boldly written off most.
They have written off rock stars, all gays, the unchurched, the artists, the musicians, the poor ones, the mentally sick, the prisoners, the 'weird' ones, the outcasts, the rebels, the 'losers', the social 'failures', the 'ugly', the lesser ones.
But I have not.
They have their own man-made codes, rules, laws, decisions, judgements.
I have none such (as those).
I am none of that.
>Holy laugh<
I am much more forgiving (!)
I am the Forgiver.
I am YOUR hope, your forgiver, your love, your best love ever. Yes, it is true.
They (churches, religions, cults) have it all wrong -- for I am NOT as them.
They presume to speak for Me ...
Ha! Ha!, I say.
I am the ultimate in forgiveness.
***
I forgive ALL.
I love ALL.
I give ALL a chance -- many, many chances -- to know Me ... to come to Me ... to find Me.
Many try, but give up -- why?
They abandon their search for Me because of the *churches*.
Yes, it is true.
Ask people.
Ask what has turned them away 'from God'.
It is the same answer.
People acting as My 'representatives' are improperly, wrongly, falsely MIS-representing Me and My truths.
This cruel, false thing is NOT of Me ... I am MORE ... much MORE.
*****
Seek -- look for Me -- seek Me without limitations, without religion, without confines of man."
