What an uplifting article ("Can You Hear the Holy Spirit?" January WN). I feel that it will be helpful to many people. I have yet to see an article so well done. It gave me such a beautiful feeling of contentment and understanding.

I moved my bed before Christmas trying to find the Christmas cards and lights I’d bought the previous year and found my 2001 Worldwide News.

It might have even been open to Michael Feazell’s article titled "No Other Name" when I found it. I just wanted someone to pass on to him how much I enjoyed reading this second part of a two-part article. It really blessed me. I agree with his interpretation of the love and judgment of God.

For a long time I believed that God condemned the world and me with it. The scripture in 1 John that says "God is love" seemed totally unbelievable to me the first time I read it, as that wasn’t my concept of God at all. John 3:16 finally came alive for me this year when I was teaching a youth class and reading from the book of John. (This incidentally followed a five-week training class by the Billy Graham Mission staff in preparation for the Metroplex Mission.) It finally clicked that God had sent Jesus into the world because he loved the world, not because he hated humanity.

This world needs to know that God loves them and those of us in the Worldwide Church of God may need to be reminded once more.
