I Don’t Know What to Say

 

 

Somewhere in time, today, I need to talk to someone.  It’s someone I love and that makes it harder in a way.  It’s hard to watch people you love make choices you know to be wrong.  Especially when they only consult with people who have no idea of God or how much He loves us.  I have been praying for wisdom and searching for knowledge.

Two things stand out in my mind. The first is we have problem when we believe there’s a God, but we don’t want anything to do with him in our daily lives.  This throws any compass we may have off kilter.  We have no idea of true north when God is missing from our lives. 

Here is the best analogy I can think of.  God is like a medicine we take that cures us from the disease of sin and death.  Here is the problem.  The medicine is presented; we take it, stick it up on a shelf and then go about trying to heal ourselves.  Years go by and we wonder why we’re not any better.

My other thought is that people are afraid to follow God fully because they don’t want to give God control.  What if God asks them to do something they don’t want to do? All I can say is that God only asks us to do what he created us to do.  What have we to fear?

John 3:17

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
