PAID for my life, and what a purchase price for such worthless
merchandise. Still, if God will use me for His purpose I want
only that for the rest of my life -- and nothing else.
I know some were confused, perhaps shocked, in wonderment
and perplexity -- and I know that many defamatory articles appeared
against God's own Work. God is the judge, however, of all such men
-- and He alone really searches and tries their hearts. We should
only pray FOR them.
I want to thank all of you who have so earnestly besought
our Creator in my behalf -- and, if I could, the tens of thousands
who are not yet truly converted, and brought to their God, but who,
nevertheless, made it obvious I, in spite of my own clay, and
totally common humanity, had come to have daily meaning to their
lives. Thank you, Brethren, VERY much for your loving concern.
The one in this human sphere to whom I truly owe the
greatest debt, besides my own father, is right here beside me, as
she has been for these many years -- my wife, Shirley. Without
her, I know I would be only a vagabond in this earth, without cause
or purpose -- not a whole man.
We serve a wonderful God, Brethren -- and how totally
ANXIOUS I am to be about our Father's business!
In Christ's name,
Garner Ted Armstrong
