Last night I had another discussion with my husband about what God has been showing me of the truths. Our conversation ended the same way it always does: My husband is frustrated and upset, feeling that the "truth" i speak sounds worse than the lies he has known his whole life. I have absolutely no one who sees like me (family or friends) and i wanted to just share that when my husband does not understand the truth, I feel such a deep pain in the pit of my chest. I ache to talk to him on the absolutely wonderful "good news" I see. I know he will see the truth some day (even if it is when every knee shall bow) I know this is how it is supposed to be right now, but the lonliness hurts.

Jesus can relate. Now you know how He felt.  Often He was alone, and often He went to be alone with our Father, in prayer.  Even towards the end of His ministry, when He took those closest to Him to pray with Him, they were willing, but the flesh was weak, and once again Jesus was there in the garden alone, praying to our Father.

Becky, draw near to God in those times where you feel so alone. He is leading you through a time of deep relating, a way of learning that many cannot endure the first time around.  It is being known by Jesus in the things He suffered, and being united to Him in His sufferings.  It is an intimate place.  It is learning to take up your cross, and follow Jesus.

It's not ALL about the head knowledge we have about God, but also the heart knowledge of common experience, in walking out our life with Him, being identified with Him, and being shaped and conformed into His image.  

When you have passed through this time you will find great joy, because what you choose pleases our Father.

As I read all this posts. I understand where you all have been. Cause I have been there myself. Cant tell another about what you believe. They cant hear you. If they ask, that is a door openning.But if they dont ask, be silent. Just let them see Jesus Christ in you. Let His Light Shine through us. But if a member of your family or friend says something against truth, repute what they say. Stand up for the truth, even if it will cause bad feeling.We have to stand behind Jesus and what is Truth. ~Karen~

Becky:
Thank you all again for the replys!  I thought over your comments all last night and they really helped me out.  It is good to know that you have gone through the same things that I am going through.  It is very comforting!
