thus sayeth the lord
recently i've had to call out a couple of different people on their behavior. i hate doing that, cause i feel like the sunday school police, on a rampage. but these are not people who just don't know any better, who met Christ last month, who are making progress and learning a lot...these are people who grew up in the church, were on and off with God, and who are now doing things that they KNOW are not right, rationalized as they may have become.
and these people have not responded well. one of my friends of many years hasn't spoken to me in a couple of months, because he has decided to continue on the path that i challenged him to get off of. and the feeling just sucks, honestly. i think i know how samuel felt. "i'm doing what God told me to do...i'm doing the best thing, but they're rejecting me."
but God told samuel (and me this morning) that when people reject him they are really rejecting God. it still sucks, but in the eternal scheme of things it takes the worry out of my hands a little.
