I started out to search for the Lord God who made me.  Innocently I inquired from those who said they had the answers.  I found answers and embraced them as best I could.  And as a child I entered into a relationship with the Almighty God through Jesus.

Over the years it has become apparent that I stand in a very hated place.  I defend the Glory of the One who made me, gave His life for me, and is causing me to learn to love Him.  This has become very curious to me, this hated place.

If my dad had been an honorable man and was accused of a horrible crime.  And after the accusation he was remanded to jail for the rest of his life.  And all of society believed the lie that he was guilty.  And if I knew, beyond any doubt that he was innocent of the charges against him.  Do you think it would be right for me to sit quietly while my dad was in prison? 

Though I were the only one to stand up for him, I would stand.  Those who believed he was guilty would learn to hate me.  But should I stop trying to right the wrong?  It would be wrong for me to remain silent.  And so it is with God.

He has done nothing wrong.  But men accuse Him of horrible crimes.  He is jailed in society and people rail against Him.  He has been accused of the ultimate hate crimes.  But He is not guilty of any crime.  He will never be guilty.  And I will not stop defending His honor as long as He allows me breath.

By His Grace.
