I've also known a handful of people that loved me in spite of it, or through those destructive years. That loved me! I am so grateful! But they didn't love how I was living and where I was headed and they never ever sugar coated God's Word to not hurt me or worry about my feelings. For that, I say thank you!
Today my heart is hurting. Why? Because for a long time now I asked God that when His heart hurts, please cause mine to hurt as well. If what I am doing hurts Him to prick my heart to be convicted to repent and make a change. If my sweet friend(s) hurts His heart, I want my heart to understand why His hurts and for mine to hurt as well.
So many are rejoicing and compromising because it tickles their flesh. Please understand, I've been there. But the truth is that I am no longer there. I will not rejoice, I will not compromise and I will not be more concerned with offending man verses offending God.
Do I love you? ABSOLUTELY! This isn't about not being your friend, it's about honoring God.
God, my heart hurts.
Love, Yolanda
Love, Yolanda
