Hello 34 West,

You are experiencing what most of us have had to deal with or soon will.

Consider a mental experiment or thought problem.

Looking toward the future after Jesus' return we expect to be one of our Lord's chosen and be given the responsibility of counseling others. Think how helpful it will be to be able to say
honestly that we have had to overcome similar afflictions and that we really do understand how
it is to face family and friends who have come to resent us. To love each one expecting nothing in return.

Jesus had to sacrifice the ultimate and he said that we should follow him and expect to bear our cross in the same way. This is our cross, that we have to give up friends and even family in some instances in order to prove to ourselves that we are growing in grace and knowledge. We also have the opportunity to exercise our faith by daily placing our problems in Jesus' capable hands by prayer and fasting. It may be thought of as practice for the challenges we will face in the future.

Of course when we are changed to spiritual we will be given great understanding and ability to
speak as God gives us the words we should speak, but for now this exercise helps us to empathize with others having the same difficulty and to develop our faith, our love and our courage under stress.

You have been given a position on the first team or the varsity and we are practicing for the big game at the end of the season. There has to be sweat and sore muscles and scrapes and bruises, it is the way practice always goes for those who love the game and desire to earn their letter.

Keep on keeping on.  Bob

Hi, 34west! 

Thank you for sharing your story.  This part stood out for me:

"I got really, really, really angry.  ...  It honestly has taken me several years to heal and get over it.   .... God is faithful."

It's quite a journey, isn't it?

Well, I'm really excited to be able to get to know another brother!  Yay!

Gina

Hi 34west, I like what Arcturus said to you about your house built on sand crashing. It's been over 30 yrs and my house is still falling down. But being here, it is crumbling faster than ever. Thanks to Ray's writings, the Holy Spirit and all who post.
Oh, and welcome. judy
