Dearest:

 

I feel led to reply to your post on the 9th. 

 

You are right about a lot of it, but wrong in another sense.  All who love the Lord and seek to obey Him will suffer persecution.  It comes with

the trial of our faith.

 

We may WANT to contribute and be a part of 5 Doves, but whenever we do, there will always be those who judge in an unrighteous manner. 

None of us are exempt.  We know ‘'in part”--- looking through a glass darkly. Remember prophet Jonah. He was convinced Ninevah would not repent and said so.  

 

There have been, and always will be, many contributions that “Don’t pan out”, including some of mine.  Shall we shut 5 Doves down entirely because of imperfect posts and negative critics?  We must rise above all of that:

 

Don’t let fear of what man may say discourage your attempts to join in and contribute.  You’ve written  articles that blessed me and many others as well.
