Mary Richardson Crawley I am a member of New Jerusalem International Christian Ministries, I have been a member for thirty plus years. I presently own and run my own business, Motherly Love Daycare and Learning Center. My character is Cora, she is a young woman who experienced hatred and racism at a young age. She did not have a relationship with Christ at an early age, because if she had, she would have realized Jeremiah 31:3 " I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving kindness." Cora would have known that there was no greater love than the love of Christ, John 15:13 " Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Because Cora did not know Christ and did not have a relationship with Christ she did not realize this, so she allowed the world to fuel her hatred. One day she had this eye opening experience which caused her great pain, and she could not forgive herself. John 3:16 " For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Proverbs 10:12 " Hatred stirreth up strife; but love covereth all sins." I have enjoyed walking and experiencing with Cora. My experience an enriching and learning one. Thank You Cora. |
