      iMakrets live is the bitcoin mining company that helps manage your Bitcoin portfolio investment,
      Bitcoin is a digital currency that is very profitable when you own it because it grows for example if you get $1,000 bitcoin worth in your Bitcoin account under imarkets live you will have a 36% daily growth rate that means in 14days of mining your money will grow to approximately $5,040 which you can withdraw when you want.

    As a christian, I am so sorry we have not made you feel warm around us.
    I am sorry we have taken Gods place and meted judgment upon you.
    I am sorry that we have not been the best example of Christs love.
    I am sorry we have pretended to be more righteous than Jesus. ( I mean, see how he dealt with Zacheus and the harlots in a very gentle way.)
    I am so sorry.
    Sending you hugs and lots of love!

Probably this will heal her whole being and conform to what is normal lifestyle. Otherwise for now, its hard and almost impossible to love a man. God's grace is abundant gal.

    There is eloquence, there is Boldness and then there is what is right, and none of this should imply the other. You can always say a bunch of wrong things or half-truths with a lot of Boldness. The moment you say you are Christian, then you acknowledge that you don't make the rules - Christ does. Our work is then to find out what rules He has set for us humans and to follow them. In the class of beginners, freedom is doing what you want, in the class of seniors, freedom is the ability to do what is right.

    Congratulations!!!! A story is told about the Buddha and how after enlightenment he met a man who being struck by his radiance and sense of peace asked him: "My friend, what are you? Are you a god?" "No", the Buddha replied. "Are you a magician, a wizard?" Again the Buddha answered, "No". Perplexed, the man asked again "So what exactly are you?", the Buddha replied: "I'm awake".
    To finally be awake to who you truly are is a magical thing. Unfortunately so many of us use all of our time and energy focusing on others that we fail to awake to our own true self resulting in second hand empty lives that are trapped in norms that we have borrowed instead of norms cultivated from our own awakeness. GO Makena GO. More light to you.

    As a Christian I know we need to practice love in our day to day encounters for whoever that’s human and I wouldn’t hate you for who you but remind you that that’s not what God intended for you.
    You’d rather stay single than be in love with same gender.
    I thank God you are bold and I urge you to be bold too in doing all that God expects of you.

    I remember during the last repeal 162 case hearing. We went there and God gave us victory. He did not allow homosexuality to become legal in Kenya. But in celebrating He kept saying one thing. 'I love them too'. Even in celebration God kept reminding us to show love to the people who came expecting victory. So we do need to show love but that does not mean accepting something that God has condemned. There are people who have been set free from homosexuality and they are testimonies today. For the true Christian who understands, stand in prayer and nullify deception from Kenya. That the light of Christ shines in the darkness and overcomes it
