HumbledbyHisgrace, Its true that we cannot see inside our brother's heart. May there be millions of whom God can say "I have reserved these unto Myself." But how many of us have lost jobs, or homes, or been injured, or been imprisoned, because of our faith in Jesus? Of how many of us could be said, "Whenever I am with this person, I realize my need for Jesus." So true that we each have our own relationship with God, and to Him we are responsible. One more question: "What percentage of my day do I spend building up and gathering to the Church, and what percentage is spent doing meaningless or worse pursuits?" Believe me, these are not pleasant questions for me to answer. I am not trying to say "we are all a bunch of losers", I will leave each of us to decide that for ourselves. What I wish to say is that if we truly lived for God, it would be said of us as was said in olden times: "These men have turned the whole world upside down, and now they have come here!" Love in Christ, Mark |

I hear what your saying brother. I do. And I don't think that you are trying to insinuate we are all losers. Rest assured, your comments did not come across that way at all. I see the same concerns in your comments that I had. But for me, I believe the relationship between God and His, is sacred and is not for me to question. If anything, I will accept what I see as a blessing from God and a reason to take a closer look at myself. I can't help but think that the things we see so clearly is because they are so familiar to us and/or, they give us reason to ignore our own faults. Don't forget, God knew what you and me and every other Christian would do for Him even before He called us and graciously gave us our salvation. Yet He still called us. Oh to love like our Father loves us! What a blessing we could truly be to others. God bless us all! |
