Hello TeacherLady,
Why the display name, TeacherLady? I suppose you're a teacher of sorts. If so what do you teach?
I definitely understand where you're coming from in regards to sharing the true GOOD NEWS to family members. Since I've always been the one to question things my father and various family members feel the Satan has me in his vicegrips. I can't even get far enough with them to share scriptural references because they believe I have yet to fully engulf myself in the word. A cousin of mine with whom I've been very close to my whole life has been avoiding conversation with me because of the revelations God is giving via bible-truths. But hey, though it hurts a little I'm not at all discouraged because Paul states that "He is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power unto salvation". Also Jesus stated that He didn't come to make peace, but division and there would come a time when your enemies would be of your own household. I can definitely understand that scripture better now. I hope and pray that God chooses me so that I can suffer for the name of Christ. What better life to live than a life in servitude to Jesus. Ohh what a blessing that would be.
Thanks for your kind words and I look forward to building a kingdom relationship with you as well as all of my brothers and sister in the Lord.
God Bless,
Charles
