You're a Champion my friend.<br />
<br />
Your ability to share openly, honestly and transparently is testimony to your walk in faith.<br />
<br />
We all have our struggles, and the way we overcome them is to expose them...<br />
<br />
It's when we share openly and honestly that our personal struggles become not the burden of others, and less of our own!~<br />
<br />
Keep them coming my friend!~

<p>Bobby...thanks for the encouraging words.</p>
<p>A consistent attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude is a struggle for me. I can't do it. Moment by moment dependence on Jesus is the only answer for me. As you see, I am also working on that... Ron<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Bobby Compton said:…</cite></p>

<p>Ron, thanks for your story. I struggle with the same issues. When I was single and living in an apartment I led a woman who was an illegal immigrant to the Lord. It disturbed me but I was still a friend to her. I also don't typically give money to homeless people on the street. We have the most audacious beggars in the D.C. area.

<p>Ron, thanks for your story. I struggle with the same issues. When I was single and living in an apartment I led a woman who was an illegal immigrant to the Lord. It disturbed me but I was still a friend to her. I also don't typically give money to homeless people on the street. We have the most audacious beggars in the D.C. area. But a couple of times the Holy Spirit led me to stop and give a homeless person money. In both cases I led them to the Lord. Of course, there was the time that I felt led to approach a man who begged for money claiming to be homeless outside one of the Metro stations day after day. I asked him firmly: "A young lady at my church who is bound to a wheelchair sent out 150 job applications and was rejected in every case. You look healthy--what's your excuse?" He just stammered. The scriptures say that if you don't work you don't eat. This guy was collecting money under false pretenses and not paying taxes on it. We all get into trouble if we are not listening to the Holy Spirit. The key is to be guided by the Holy Spirit and to not judge by appearances. God knows people's hearts. That said, I have a lot to learn myself on being Spirit-led!</p> Your story reminded me of one…tag:www.dealerelite.net,2011-08-12:5283893:Comment:1856152011-08-12T18:29:44.476ZTobias Sedilloshttps://www.dealerelite.net/profile/TobiasSedillos

<p>God bless your obedience to His commands to serve others, Ron. When my wife and I started serving the homeless years ago we confronted the same biases and lack of love in our own hearts for many of these people, who when we look at through worldly eyes seem to deserve what has befallen them. Then the Holy Spirit begins to soften our hearts and we see them through God's eyes...lost souls who are crying out for Him even though they do not recognize His voice.

I love your comment about daily gratitute and heart health -- dead on. My verse for the week that breaks me into tears over how God's love kisses my and my family is Romans 8: 31 through 39 -- a great expression of The Father's love for them who love Him.</p>
