Meeting with church elder

<< < (2/3) > >>

Marie,

Been there.  Who knows at this point in time why God chose to reveal what He has to you, to us... to some and not all.  There is a reason, but i don't make the shoes, i just sell them (sorry, i'm a little tired and i don't really sell shoes). On a shallow level..I miss church socials, functions, physical worship, guitars, drums, bible studies.. Abba Father is the only One that can satisfy our thirst.  He's proven that a few times, and will need to again shortly, (atleast for me) i'm sure.  If you do go, there may be no visible purpose for having went to said meeting and you may, like me, end up leaving in tears wondering 'why me?'.   Who knows what seeds will take hold or will be scattered on the rocks.  Either way, God is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will (He's workin it out sister-girl).

I will pray for you tonight.  Even if you already went.  :)

Jen

Welcome Jen.   Good Word!

Thank you everyone for commenting on my issue.  I was quite surprised that almost all of you thought I shouldn't go, however, I did go, and it was a blessing.  The elder could not criticize me, could not prove me wrong and at one point he even said I was right, although I don't think he even realized he said it.  God is awesome!  I think a seed was planted in this elders' heart, and maybe not today or even tomorrow, but one day he will be reading the bible and a light will turn on for him, that is just my gut feeling, I know it has to be God's will if this is to be so, and so I leave it (obviously) in His hands.
Thanks again for your words of wisdom and prayer.  Last night when I was speaking to this elder, it occurred to me that God has so planted His will in my heart, because it feels so right when I speak about God that I just want to jump on the rooftop and yell it out to the world! My prayer is that God would bring more people into my life to share His Word with.
OK, I'm rambling now...thanks for listening.
In His Name,
Marie

Marie,  I'm glad you had a good experience with this.  If you are led there by God to plant a seed, it should go well.  I have tried sharing with a couple of people a long time ago because I believed that was what I was supposed to do (not because I felt led to do so) and it wasn't so good.  You followed what you felt God wanted and that is exactly what you should do. It is wonderful to hear back from you about your positive experience.  Peace and love to you.
