Learning to love God Again

<< < (4/5) > >>

Ninny:
Hey guys!
One thing we can count on is this: when He comes we will be like Him! We will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye!

 My sweet little Alex. God has a mighty big love for you! Just look what he has done in you so far!! All of us older folks have lived so long on this journey going round and round the lot of us are just waiting for that day when we will be like Him!! God is molding all of us into what He wants us to be, but look at you! You are a pretty fresh lump!!  ;) so God's got you! You are starting out ahead of the game you don't have a lot to unlearn, but so much to learn! Look at you standing for truth in an age when most guys your age are standing for whatever just makes them feel good! Standing for what they think is good not what God says is good! I'm proud of you, buddy! Even if you don't think you're perfect yet, don't worry, you will be one day and so will all of us!! :D :D
Hugs!

God is true and Love never fails. I love that and Him for loving me and the world. I never felt like I belonged either. Not in the world.. not going from church to church. I just didn't fit in. But now, Wow! I know that I belong here with my brothers and sisters. The Truth knocked me for a loop just like everyone else but it also set me free. Joy floods my soul because of the goodness of God dragging me here. Each one of us are on individual journey that Daddy God has specially designed (fiery trials and tribulations) but the end is the same.. to be transformed into His glorious image...LOVE.

Philippians 1:3-6 (NKJV)
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

In His Joy,
Bunni :D

Linny:
I'm with you Kathy! I see Alex and others on this forum who are being molded and changed and learning truths so young, and I admit I am a bit jealous.
Of course I know that God's hand has been on me my whole life leading up to this and can see why He took so long to show me but I think it is natural (carnal  ;)) to think, "Oh if I knew then what I know today..." ::)

Alex, you are SO blessed!

I am loving the journey to finding my first love again!

Firefly, I am like you, my husband and I seem to enjoy hanging out with non-Christians more than our Christian friends oftentimes. One, we don't have to listen to the silliness that we close our mouths to, and two, we can actually talk to them about truth without offending them! ::)

Linny,
I have made the same discovery. There are some "unbelievers" I count as my "best" friends; they will get me out of a ditch in the middle of winter, 4 feet of snow on the ground and 10 below, or shovel the snow off my roof because I can't. I have lots of examples where the "unbeliever" became the Good Samaritan in my life. The Church could only bring themselves to pray for me in an unknown tongue. That, of course, was extremely helpful  ::). Sorry if I sounded cynical...

Linny:
No Angie, not cynical, just honest. When we were at our lowest point, our pastor would only offer prayer for us (after two times of going to him for help). We have two little girls and the IRS took 80% of our monthly check. But two ladies where we paid a bill that we barely knew, knew our situation and they bought us groceries. I know exactly where you are coming from.
