I could write more.
Today I went out to eat with some friends. I knew these people well. So, it was suprising to be a witness of their attitudes, contributed thoughts, and opinions about things. They felt like strangers to me. One in particular, whose name is Lynn, stood out the most. Lynn and I use to hang out quite frequently. We were best friends. However things have changed and I just noticed that she has too. I use to know her as a sweet, innocent, and mature woman who did want to offend anybody and just wanted people to get along. Basically, Lynn wanted world peace. Now I know her as a harsh and mean-spirited girl who wants her way alot. I am not trying to bash her or anything. I guess I am just concerned because Lynn's attributes do not seem Christ-like or as Christ-like any more. She had asked me to pray for her about two months ago. Lynn had mentioned her trouble of keeping a consistent quiet time with God. I have prayed her. Although, I have to admit that I have stopped. She doesn't seem to be growing in her walk with the Lord. I am sad for her. Mabe I am being naive, but I don't comprehend how a person can love Jesus at one point in time and then pull away from Him at another point. Jesus has done so much for every human being, whether that human being realizes that or not. Jesus died for each individual person. Actually, He didn't just die for me and Lynn and even you, He was tortured for all of us. If He didn't die for the people of this World, we would be caught in a furious wrath of God. I know that when I made a commitment to follow Christ, I did and will continue to stick to that commitment. Mabe I have bigger motivation than Lynn. To those of you who care, please pray for those who struggle to maintain their relationship with God. It isn't easy. On the other hand, if you do not know Christ in a personal way and want to, don't wait. God want to come into your heart so much and the best part is, all you have to do is ask for his forgivness of your sins and to ask him to come into your life. All you have to do is ask. Have a wonderful day!

dear amy june,
ReplyDeleteas for the blog at first i was extremely offended like you couldn't even iamgined at how angry i was not only for the blog but for you posting it out on facebook and wanting others to read it, at first i thought you were trying to glorify yourself through this blog and as i was about to write this i read god in the back of my head speaking to me saying "well isn't this true didn't you act like this you let go of the rope not me" and then i realized about this blog wasn't to hurt me i probably wasn't supposed to read this and you did give me a code name. as i finished this i began to do something i haven't done in a while i began to actually...cry. is seeked forgiveness from hima nd now i'm seeking it from you and others. i'm sorry for this past year i know it must be painful to watch a fellow sister fall. i'm sorry hope you forgive me and thanks :)
You are welcome. And you are right. I didn't think you would ever read this. Actually, that is one reason why I decided to write it. lol. You are right. I didn't write this blog to glorify myself or to make you look bad. I posted this piece because that was what was on my heart. I love you Lynn!
