Ughhh

Feeling so terribly burdened by this. There is no fear of God at all. It's plainly thinking that you know better, that your choices are better than what God has already commanded. It's like saying "Because You have given me a choice, and I have yet to experience a personal encounter regarding this issue, I shall choose what my emotions and my own logic says is correct." Such pride...such self-deception!!

Gahh...why did this have to happen...my heart's really really burdened. I wanna bury my head in some pillows and just cry.

As a friend I'm frustrated with this yet I know although righteous the anger is, it cannot turn to malice.

Personally I'm struggling with learning how to be kind and compassionate whenever such situations go against God's VERY CLEAR instruction and not be aggressive about it.

[2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses...]

God's Word is meant to protect us, to love us and to keep us.

As a friend I 100% don't approve of this and I know I can never smile at this. But what I know is the best thing I can do is just pray...unceasing prayer is what I'm reminded of today, and I pray with the confidence that God will open eyes and hearts and minds to the truth of His Word.
