Reclaiming myself and my life #6

[cat03]

I didnt' mean to say God just abandons those who reject him, I meant to say that since God gave us all free will He won't force anyone to follow Him, He must let us reap what we sow if we insist in following our own way, that is the only way some learn, the traditional "rock bottom".

I would somehow try to reach him. I would try to inspire him. I would do whatever was within my means to understand why it was that he was rejecting me.

He took human form to reach us, inspired us with His life, died a cruel death even for those who rejected him, was subjected to all the temptations we are subjected in this life to show us that we can be victorious through Him. We only have to accept his grace and be saved.

I tried like crazy to save a man from himself to no avail. The decision was on his hands all along.

Do you mean to say that true evangelical Christians don't suffer?

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us" Romans 8:18

1 Peter 4
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

2 Corinthians 12:9:
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

He'll work through us, if only we open the door.
