My dear young Christian Brother,<br> Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Your courage in standing for the Lord in what must have been a very difficult situation, has been an encouragement to me and to another with whom I have shared it, as has been the manner in which you have accepted and responded to the wise advice which others have given you.I am sorry I have not had an opportunity to reply earlier.To be a young man, and a Christian, is not easy.(I'm sure Daniel would agree). Nevertheless always remember, "Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: [color:red]But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:30-31 </font color=red> May God enable you so to do, and as you more and more realise your own weakness, may you increasingly experience His grace and power in a life lived to His glory alone.<br>Your brother in Christ.<br>Brian.
