My Daughter’s name is Zoe. I am a youth pastor in Louisville. I found out about your paper due to your recent awards that my cousin informed about.

Congratulations!! I love what your Aunt said, and I am a graduate of the Southern Baptist Seminary here in Louisville. While I cannot speak for those who are presently teaching and in school there would, I love what your Aunt said and she has very correctly interpreted and presented the Biblical point of view that I embrace as a minister to students.

Love is the Movement–I love this. Because I believe loving people is what Jesus did. He loved them, respected them, embraced them and he called them to repentance. Scripture does hold up a standard for living holy that calls all sinners to turn away from sin and to the embrace the forgiveness that Jesus bought with His own blood for all of humanity.

I just want you and all your readers to know how much Jesus loves you. He gave all for you too!! Pay no mind to people who want to point at you and have no attention to their own sinful lives.

But do pay attention to the reality that you are created in the image of God and in the depths of your soul you were made to be in relationship with your creator God Yahweh. He desperately longs to be part of your life and to show you His care, compassion, forgiveness, and grace. I know this because I daily must call on His love to cover me in these same ways. He is a father in all the best ways. I pray you encounter His love and know Him as He knows you.

Blessings.
