The Pain Of Watching Non-believers

Conker · Sep 15, 2017

Oh the pain! Its such a shame! Each day, I attend school, and see all the boys and girls going about their days. I see them with light hearts, roaming, and cheering, unaware of the sins they commit, and transgressions against God's word.

I look at them with repulsion, hiding the fact that I bare a heavy heart of sorrow, pity, and empathy for them.

It feels so horrid, to watch them commit sin, and know what awaits a life of sin without genuine repentance, and accepting Gods Grace.

But there is nothing I can do, these people of worldly views are not persuaded by the truth of God's word. They perfer to live by their's, and reject God himself.

Then there are those who acknowledge God, but live not in his righteousness, but declare they do; and then there are those who pick, only the laws of God which they like and replace those which they don't, with their own. AH the hypocrisy, it wounds me as though my soul was ripped from the depths of my heart.

If only they could be persuaded...
It seems that as the youth moves forward, I move backward, like a black sheep who strays from the herd to search for water, instead of a deadly walk to oblivion.

If only there were more true believers...
To know the reality is such tragedy.
At least there is hope that they will be saved, as there is hope for me.

Be very careful. There is a huge trap in being too judgmental. I too went through a time of such scrupulosity in my youth.

You are very right to not judge too heavily. I do know there is still hope for all of us, but it pains me dearly to see all of them commit crimes.

I know how you feel. Ask God for permission to evangelize to them first and if He says yes, ask God to pour the Coals of Fire from His Lovely Hands over them softening their hearts, minds and souls to Godly persuade and charm them to accept His Word and Will for them. Also ask God to send the Holy Spirit before you to speak on your behalf as you give them the gospel.

If God says no, don't do it as His will trumps ours. There will be something He sees that's dangerous to you such as it might not be your jurisdiction, area or region to operate, not yet time for them, or there is a strong evil principality over the area that could lead to either injury or demise.

Shalom, Blessings and Happy Sabbath,

I know the feeling. I was disgusted by the ways of the world from a very young age. I'm still recovering and being delivered from demons I picked up in middle and high school because I was raised in an athiest home. But you must realize they don't know what they're doing- satan has blinded their eyes... Pray for God to show you how you can reach them. God listens to His children.

Thank you! And maybe its me, maybe its not my calling to evangelize them, because I try to teach them that God is greater than us, but they never listen.

Most welcome. I understand. What you do afterwards is pray to God and say "Father God, I've planted the seed, if it is Your Will for me to continue preaching to them, then let it be Your will, if not, please send another in my place to water and nourish them, helping them grow so You may root them up in Yahushua's (Jesus) name.

If it's not His Will, sometimes God will allow satan to 'touch' them bringing them back to Him. All we can do is show mercy and grace as God showed us and give them time as it's a different process for all of us.

God is in control. Man's will to follow Satan isn't something He can't deal with.

My mother and siblings are not Christians. I don't know why God chose me. He made sure the seed was planted when I was young and then in His timing He brought me to Christ. I understand the pain, but our strength comes from the Lord Who is our Shepherd.

Pray for them son and help them out any way you can (I'm praying with you). Your pain for them is His pain as well

It is tragic. I am one of those you listed, one that acknowledges God but does not live for him. I was very close to him but then slowly drifted away.

I remember how I felt so superior to those unbelievers, mocking them for their ways, so much pride I held within me. Unbelievably, I would rather be here where I am right now, distant from God and lost rather than to be there with him, acting as I was before.

God taught me a valuable lesson : We are all equal.

I think that it is safe to say, "karma bit me in the butt". Although on a more serious note, I believe we all ought to leave the judging to God.

I kept things about what you said and I realized that the reason I have such pain, is because I judge too harshly, ans have fallen to an almost legalist point of view. I thank you very much for replying!!!!!
