Hoping you will share your testimony and tell what GKC stands for, also which continent you're from?

Thank you, Esther. I'm always happy to share my testimony of the Father's love and grace, in the hopes that it can encourage and help others. :-)

Hoping you will share your testimony . . .

I'm happy to share it, Esther, to give glory to the Father. :-D Here's a tiny summary:

It was Leif Hetland whom I first heard described as an "Ambassador of Love." This is what I try to be and do every day and with everyone I encounter: to help them know and believe and experience the Father's amazing, amazing, amazing love. His unconditional, overwhelming love is what every one of us on the planet is actually desperately seeking for; it's the only thing that will truly change people's hearts and minds, so it's the only real and lasting solution for all the problems, the insecurities, all the fears, unforgiveness, suspicion, animosity, wars, and hatred in the world.

And being ambassadors of His love is what we're all called to be and do, wherever we are―even to our enemies.

The Lord began teaching and enabling me to live this lifestyle a few years ago, after I had my baptism of love (another of Leif's phrases) experience, when for three solid days I was inundated by the Father's overwhelming love; I felt it all over and around me like you feel the water in a swimming pool; I felt it pouring through my soul and every cell in my body like you feel the heat from a raging fire. And, hallelujah, it also changed my heart!, so that suddenly I was able to truly love and appreciate people; people who before had often only annoyed or offended me, or―I'm ashamed to say―whom I literally, knowingly, (and sometimes unknowingly) hated.

Of course, if we attempt to do this in our own strength and wisdom, the task is impossible! We can only love all of us often-unlovable people by the power of the Father's charisma―his supernatural abilities working through us; by allowing him to love people (or forgive them, etc.) through us. But praise the Lord, thanks to his resurrection, we don't have to attempt this task on our own!

That you may know . . . his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms. (Eph. 1:18-20)

“The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.”....

My Momma's take on that was "love your enemies - after all, in most cases, you made them!"
