Prarrydog, in line with your thoughts, I would have to say this verse:
(Jer 2:32) Can a virgin forget her finery, a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.
Looking at the time He has given me, so far, I would be guilty of forgetting Him days without number. Guilty, big time of not loving Him with all my heart, mind and soul. I've noticed, when things are going good, where is God...way in the back of my mind. Yet, these are the times He should be forefront in my life.
Also, I am not quite to where I can fully forgive my enemies, even though they are not my personal enemies, but gaining in this knowledge, seems to bring more and more people to hate me for this belief. It is an incredible walk He puts us through, estranged by the ones we love and care about. No longer partaking in the ways of this world, to the ones remaining puts a strange stamp on us. I often wonder, why it must be this way? Yet, there are many things that must be taken in faith.
This is why I am thankful for Him putting the desire to seek Him, within me. Now I see, what has happened to the prophets of the OT, our Lord Himself, the apostles, and the many since who have suffered for His names sake. Seems to me, we are in good company.
God bless,
Gary
