Heavy Heart

People aren't going to always like you nor your stance on issues such as abortion or gay marriage. As a matter of fact, Christians will have to endure name calling, bullying, and other forms of persecution such as being killed for our beliefs. John 15:18 states, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." The world is going to hate us and does hate us. It hates Jesus. Everyday we see this in how people behave, how they mock Christians, and how they treat others in the Christian faith. It's not fun. 


My heart is heavy because the people I love can't see to understand what the Word says as oppose to what the world says. I was just defriended from Facebook because I oppose gay marriage. Apparently, he felt that the link that shows that we are standing together against gay marriage, is a form of discrimination and hatred. He also let me know that he wanted nothing more to do with me. It hurts but the fact of the matter is that I know that the Word supports me on this. I know that the Word is with me. 


Having stated this, I'm sad for this young man because I love him as we Christians are suppose to love others. I want the best for him and his soul. It pained me to read his words, but the fact of the matter is that his stance on gay marriage is wrong. I'm sad about it.


More prayers are needed for the lost. More prayers are needed for them to open their eyes up, to be receptive of the Word. We need a world wide revival! 


Dear brothers and sisters let us fight the good fight of faith. Let us stand behind the Word all the way despite opposition and the hurtful things that are said. Remember this, who are we to please people or God? Who do we stand with: the world or God? We stand with God. We seek to please Him.


Remember, when the times get rough, just pray about it & let the Lord work it out. Place all things in His hands.


Yes, I'm still sad for this old classmate, but I will pray for him, still loving him.

Until Next Time...Lord's Willing
