1 | Why did Job love God? | Job | gracefull | 73510 | ||
I have read but not participated in this discussion until now.... Your honest statement brought compassion. As thomas has addressed the method of salvation, the surrender of our heart as we realize we are sinners in need of a saviour. Was their a change? Not an external change of activities, but a change of heart? If yes.. When we come to the Lord we are children. Our relationship is that of a child coming to the parent for all our needs. Children do not KNOW the parents, but simply accept them as the provider. Then as they begin to grow up they begin to recognize the parent as both provider and disciplinarian. Then they eventually get through this stage to adulhood and begin to have a relationship based on respect and knowing. 1Peter 2:2 Our relationship with our Father is much like that. Initially we see Him as our 'provider' especially at times of trouble. But when we spend time with Him consistently in His word and prayer, we begin to KNOW Him. Many believers remain in childhood for various reasons.. But since you have made this statement, it would seem you have begun to mature. (Awareness of the lack of in depth relationship and awareness that such a relationship is possible is a GIANT step). Will you move forward in seeking Him or draw back? FEAR NOT! He loves you. Remember John 3:16 God bless |

2 | Why did Job love God? | Job | lovly2me1 | 73549 | ||
graceful, I cannot discribe to you how I'm feeling right now, about your response, I really cant. Just know that I am so grateful to you. I feel as though there is a rock around my heart that God is chipping away at. I am crying even as I type. I dont know why, and this is the second time this has happened to me this week. I am sad because I dont understand WHY I feel that way about God,and sad because I DO. Bless you for thinking of me. Yes, I gave my life to the Lord 22 years ago, next month. It has been pure hell, but I have held on, and when I couldn't, God held on to me. I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, that same month, the month of my 27 birthday. The Lord sent someone the day of my 27 birthday to witness to me. I have felt love for him at various times, but mostly, I felt he hated me, so at times, I have hated him, because I was totally confused. I hope this is the beginning of a healing for me. Bless YOU! |

Than you for sharing this with me. I was reminded of Romans 8:25-28 as I read your heart... But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. In the same way the Spirit helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. First, our feelings do not always represent what is going on in our heart. The times I feel far from God only serves to remind me circumstances and my flesh are still temporal factors in my carnal life, but the reborn spirit connected with the Holy Spirit of God is more real and eternal. I am a spirit, I have a soul and I live in a body. Do you pray in tongues? If so, when this grieving comes, pray in the Spirit, if you have not been already...Growth can seem bitter sweet but the joy of the eternal sweet far exceeds the the temporal pain. To allow God to create in us a soft heart makes us feel vulnerable, but in reality it frees us and allows God to become our protector. If you would like, I can give you my e-mail address.
