You could know someone for years and still not understand them completely.
I have seen many friends, over the course of the past 3 years, change right before my eyes. Some changes good, some bad, but I think the not-so-good changes out way everything else. Or maybe they haven't changes... maybe I'm the one who stepped into their lives and I'm just seeing who they really are.
Let me tell you something reader, just because people go to church it does NOT mean that their troubles/struggles are any less. I think they might actually be worse. In the past few months I have seen struggles eat away at the people I care about only turning them into complacent, prideful, and unwilling individuals. I love with them with all my heart, but there is nothing else that I can do anymore unless they change themselves.
We have become so influenced by the world that we have let our guard down and so we are attacked in our weakness. But in our weakness we become prideful, though sometimes unaware of it at the moment. Sometimes it takes certain experiences to make us turn back to where we need to be.
Hopefully in more time there will be more changes...

ReplyDeleteIt takes a really evolved individual to observe and acknowledge that. Non-believers, especially, are very quick to attack God if they see a person of God in a difficult situation. I think all Christians should come to grips with the fact that; Job, Jesus, Moses and so many others in throughout the scriptures have faced their share of tribulation.
Many things in life are meant to be practiced in moderation, pride being one of them. Pride stops us from compromising our ways of life, but it can also be our greatest flaw.
I guess, if anything, I myself, hope to change into a more insightful individual that grows closer to the way God wants us all to live.
Good one dude!
Yeah thanks. Sometimes we forget that things are not supposed to always be alright. Perseverance builds character.
