All of these verses on lovingkindness in the six previous posts and I haven't even covered the ones the have both lovingkindness and tender mercies (compassions). Here they are, one right after the other in rainbow colors for your personal mediatiaon.
Psalm 25:5 Remember, O Lord, Thy compassions (tender mercies) and They lovingkindness, For they have been from of old.
Psalm 40:11 Thou, O LORD, wilt nto withhold Thy compassions (tender mercies) from me; Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth will continually preserve me.
Psalm 51:1 Be gracious to me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Thy compassion (tender mercies) blot out transgression.
Psalm 69:16 Answer me, O LORD, for Thy lovingkindness is good. According to the greatness of Thy compassion (tender mercies), turn to me.

Mara,
I love your series focusing on the lovingkindness of the Lord. :) What a great way to start the day.
Also, I wanted to you to know that I am not a QF daughter, though I have a lot in common with them in some ways. I went ahead and wrote about that on my blog, to answer that question.
Keep honoring the Lord!
Mara, thank you for standing up for me on the true womanhood forum...I just went back today, I did not go back after posting what I did--and they have Deliberately misconstrued it, as I sort of knew they would.
There was nothing wrong with Anything I said, I prayed about it and all I said, could have been said in Isaiah, because God said the same thing to Complacent women...
I responded strongly, to 'what if''s little dance of glee comment on Ethnic Cleansing, and She knows it--three times, she made references to the Justifications under GOD for ethnic cleansing, three times, which is Also making references to mass RAPE OF GIRLS AND WOMEN. I for numerous times pointed out in Bible using Scripture that God is not a racist in Any way--she came back with a wink, how in the hell do I come back to that, she Winks using God at Ethnic Cleansing? All I said, is that one day retribution will be paid and it's true...racism, blood shed, is always sadly one day repaid, and when it's white women, being gang raped She can remember God winking at ethnic cleansing...
I confronted her on white racist privilege. At her using GOD to promote that mentality--
That is All I did.
And God knows it--I didn't go back, because God told me not too, I didnt' know they kicked me off, I really don't care, their Eyes are Deliberately Closed to the Horrors millions of women, of color, are going through, at the hands of yes, American policy--because they don't care, and IF they think that is God,
that only tells me, just how in the darkness, the church really is. I am not angry--I just see, and it only causes me, to dig in and press in to Christ Jesus more, He knows, what I wrote, and what I didn't write. He knows...
Love, Jane
I never posted on the forum before either [someone accused me of something of causing moderation, Satan is Such a Liar], anyhow, the 'what if' came back with the I'm Hispanic,
like, so what? I mean, Hispanics can be racist too, Rwanda had Ethnic Cleansing, they aren't white. But that was besides the point, I made numerous points using Scripture about the Cause of God commanding war in OT that had Nothing to do with Nationalist Privilege, that flies of course in the whole mentality of Americans Godly good so if we rape/kill/bomb it's fine and dandy, God is on OUR side mentality--
that isn't Biblical NOR is it Christ. She came back [after I posted three in length with scripture] to Show that there was more to it than God is for ethnic cleansing--Immediately by two women I got slammed, I was patient, kind, it wasn't until the last comment by the 'what if' poster with her Wink, I suppose God is a genocidal maniac justifying Ethnic Cleansing, that I went off...my daughter is Native Indian, they WERE raped, killed, marched to their deaths, kid's taken, not for God, for greed, I know what Ethnic Cleansing is, I worked with families from Croatia and with Biser Project [Bosnia], girls gang raped, for ethnic cleansing, and SHE USES GOD'S NAME AND 'WINKS' AT IT,
I just gave it to her straight, IF she thinks it's good, if she came to My neighborhood [mostly poor/people of color] and popped off with that, they wouldn't be as forgiving and that one day [and it's true] this country Will be judged, God says so, in HIS WORD, you don't go raping, supporting blood shed in His name and not expect retribution, they got mad Mara because I confronted Americanism, brutally confronted it, American Supremacy, that is So far from Christ and I really do NOT understand why so many Don't See that? Well, I can understand it,
but well anyway, I read what you wrote--it's not because of just the pain Mara, I have MET women, personally FROM THESE COUNTRIES Mara and I have seen their tears and heard their HORRORS,
it's for Them, I stand up..in Love, and I will Continue, to do so. I will stand for them, because I know, Jesus, would do the same.
Love,
Jane
Been busy beyond words.
Want to get to both Shadowspring's blog and Jane's and am going to when I can.
Jane you're welcome.
Truewomanhood moderator said that she would be willing to post your points if you could sort of deal with one (or a few) points at a time.
I understand if you don't want to, like not worth the trouble. It's up to you, of course. The only reason I would ask you to consider it is because I know voices like yours need to be heard. The problem, sometimes though, is that we live in a 'sound bite' generation. When things get too long people are not much able to follow them anymore.
Anyway, pray about it.
also the moderator made it clear that you WERE NOT the same Jane that visited before and caused trouble.
Just wanted you to know.
Thank you Mara, I Did pray about it, yesterday was quite the wrestling match, guess you could say but with each wrestle I come away with a deeper understanding into the Spiritual, the Power, not of 'man's wisdom' or rudiments of tradition or philosophies...at this time I won't be posting there...unless God tells me other wise, I won't be, no need to,
to those who have ears let them hear to those who don't...no amount of words will make any difference, let the dead bury the dead, per se--do not throw pearls and so forth, Not because of some 'better' or 'pious' understanding over others, NOT AT ALL, not in That spirit whatsoever Mara,
but many are not at I suppose you could say a place to Receive some things...for whatever reason, like Jesus told me, that is between Him [His business] and them--it is by Revelation, after all,
and only by Revelation, through the Holy Spirit. The letter of the 'law' and 'word' kills, the Spirit gives life...there is much I do not really need to get into but He did also tell me many things, things that I understand--it isn't an easy walk, to walk IN HIM, not just knowing about Him...it is not an easy nor a 'popular or world loving you walk', so I ask Him, how do I know, who the sheep are? Who to trust--He tells me, you know ME first, and Foremost, all of my disciples know Me first--in darkness, I lead them out, I teach them, I feed them, I nurture them...when I AM hem you in and there is No one, no Chaldeans or Assyrians nor Egyptians you can run to--their power cannot deliver you--this place I so run from, it is strange foreign, scary, so unlike what doctrine and religion tells us--so foreign--is it true? Is it just illusion of my making, is it the enemy deception? The Greeks seek wisdom and the Jews seek a 'sign'...
LOL, it is O.K. Mara, love is patient and instructs bit by bit--He told me...the frustration I have/had over so much is not Fair to so many who simply could not see Until HE brings them to that place of BROKENNESS and I do mean Real Brokenness...naked, no where to hide, go, elude,
I'm done running, it does no good anyway, there is no 'assurance' in faux affirming of mankind [religious] even IF they use the Word...
to sit Still, and Know, HE is God.
Trust is built, faith is built on the foundation--funny thing is, the foundation may not always be what we think it is, it may be shaky, when He shakes and allows us to be Sifted like Wheat--what remains?
I hear Him Mara...through the doubts I hear Him, blindfolded and afraid but I hear Him, little by little the blindfold comes off--the blindness, and I must learn, to be Faithful, to what light He has given me...to be Faithful, to Him.
Love you, I really do Mara,
Jane
This song, says it well Mara

LOL, you know I have this album, Never got this until now, what the Mask and the Mirror means, LOL, on the cover [mirror = image], mask well you can sort of figure that one out,
just came to me, while posting the video on my blog.
He uses the bad, the rejection, the misunderstandings Mara, with the good, to reveal to us, who He is--I used to think I always Had to get people to understand...
I am seeing, now, though it is sometimes lonely Mara, that I don't. That 'affirmation' is a faux security Anyway...
:) Jane
