I love God with all my heart...at least i like to think that i do...but i reckon only HE knows that for sure....I think i walk with Jesus as best as i can...but there again...only HE knows for sure if i am really doing my best or not. I am a work in progress and i do need much work...i just thank God for his patients and grace and mercy.
As you all know...i lived a very wicked life of addictions for many many years...and i can say without much of any doubt...there isnt much in life that i havent seen...I have not studied about what pain and wickedness folks can live in without Hope...i have not read books about the problems and wickedness of the world...I have Lived It!
Im just a regular everyday man that loves God and i dont have much in the way of book learning....But i do have one thing between my ears...and that is plenty of good common sense that the good Lord blessed me with....and i have learned more than most would ever want to know in the school of hard knocks....And i gots the Holy Spirit in my heart!
I know very well how the wicked...abusive...addicted...lying...cheating and often times..powerful mind works....As ive said...ive seen it all and lived it all for at least 25 years and some things thru my old man...for even more years than that.
I know very well what Jesus said...what the word of God says...what scripture in the Bible says...I know God is the same yesterday...today...tomorrow......I know what the bible says about divorce...i know all of that!
But when a spouse or kids or anyone... is being used or abused or mistreated by word...mind...action...whatever...and someone is telling them to hang in there and just pray...I am afraid i have a big problem with that...How many spouses and kids are lame or dis-figured, either mentally or physically because they listened to advice like that and hung in there just to be hurt...And worse than that...they now are 6 feet under.
God ...I do not believe...intends for any of his children to be put thru such things..a earthly hell imposed by another person..Yes we might be persecuted in JESUS name....but to be used and abused and maybe even killed for the sake of staying with someone that most likely in this day and time aint gonna ever look to God in the 1st place...No we are not to be persecuted in the name ..or by...a drunk or druggie or just a plain screwed up person.....Many people on planet earth are here for one reason...To live for themselves...to get ahead any way they can...and to use people...and have a good time doing it...its a game...a challenge to them...who can i screw over this week!
I say...knock the dust off your shoes and hit the road and dont look back...continue to pray for them and if they look to God for salvation...THEN..try and renew the relationship...other wise...forget them!
You have a blessed day my friend!
