The love you have for someone can overwhelm you when you see them hurt. And the hurt you see doesnt always have to be obvious to them,but in most cases is ,with the individuals that have been on my heart for well....forever I see a life God never had planned for them. Its like Jonah and his whale. He added chapters to his life by running from a life and a purpose God had for him. How often do we see this going on and just say "God will take care of it, they are just in a time of learning." Can we please stop and think of those times and people we have said this about.....
Ok now that we have thought a moment, let's think about it this way now.... as a brother or sister in Christ do think you could of missed something? I know with my loved ones I often "let them go through the time of learning" hoping God's plan reveals it self to them. But if we are his hands and feet and our words our weapons for his kingdom why do we not fight along side of our loved ones? Why do we not step up and say to them "God has more for you then this!" Why don't we say something? And not "this to shall pass" yes that is true but I almost find that as a lame way of half doing what we should. And no one wants to hear that in a time of pain or growth. Let's be honest with ourselves we didn't like hearing it so,why do we say it? Lets find more for our loved ones than an old saying.
I have a truly amazing woman/friend/sister in Christ in my life. I love her with so much love it had to be God given. I am always praying for her, but I see the gifts God has given her and the beauty he has blessed her with and I mean more than her face, her heart is beautiful. People are drawn to her. But she has fallen away from the Lord. And I see the hurt of not having him in her life. It's a on going struggle for her and I've said time and time again "she is going through a time of learning" "God will take care of her" which he always does! But has her sister in Christ I feel I should do more than pray. Some action and love should be put behind the prayer. Thats why iam saying this to you all. Its a thing God is teaching me in my life. So my final thought for you and myself is what more could we be doing to show God's love for the ones we love? Can we be his pain pills to our loved ones or do we just sit back and watch them go through this?
