I encourage you my brothers and sisters to stay steadfast on the road that the Lord God has paved for us....True satisfaciton and peace comes from obeying and being faithful to the Lord...For if you are faithful He is faitful as well...
This year has been a new year for me..of me confessioning that this is the Lord's year that I wll not be ashamed..not that I was ashamed ..but that I was going to represent Christ in a greater way..making sure that He would recieve all the glory of all how I live my life..and how I interact with others...that I wasnt going to sit around and be "nice" inregards to letting people run over me or make me feel bad...I was gona stand up and be the strong annointed daughter of Christ that I know I am..precious in His sight..valued and highly esteemed...
Over the past few weeks...one of my friends I believe that always had an attraction to me....had conjoured in his mind that he assumed I would pursue a relationshp with him..because he was so "nice" even though he didnt meet none of my standards..wasnt living for the Lord and was choosing to not to submit to God..he assumed really that I would settle...but he never met a christian or someone with strong convictions like myself...he is the friend of the other boy that tried to approach me...but through this action with my friend i was saddened by the fact he had and could put no input into the discussions I would have about God, morality, and unrighteousness in the world...which taught me two things...
1. It is best not to have unbelievers in your inner circle...because many times they dont understand or faith or our struggle
2. This is confirmation again of what I dont want or need...for a close friend, bf, or husband
And at this time I was almost discouraged in continuing a friendship with him....I never led this young man on or even told him that I liked him..and here he was assuming things because i was being the nice christian that I was...(idk why but some guys assume that when you are nice to them, that you like them) and when he would ask me to go here or there.. i said no..and made sure i was busy or made my day more "full" than it was not to lead this person on...but in our friendship he continued to flip out because i wouldnt submit or take his requests into consideration so last nite i just told him straight out...even though i had mentioned it many times...
I am looking for a man of God...someone that has submitted their life to the Lord Jesus Christ and that is obedient and faithful the God..and someone who is already "there" im not looking for someome to change for me ..because many times that is only a seasonal change..im looking for someone that already is at where i need them to be...and this young man like the enemy began to distort the lil bit that he did know about the word to try to rationalize why i should give him a chance...saying that all humans are here for the same puprose to be better people ..basically the whole theory about everyone goes to heaven..but i said no and i put him in his place using the word of God
And I told him very nicely and politely with the love of Christ...that we would only remain friends and that while he was a nice guy..that wasnt enough and that I could not date him because he was not walking with the Lord because for me to do so would be a sin and i wasnt going to be unequally yoked ...because that while im not trying to mean...i however am trying to serve God
He didnt get it..and was shocked...because of my conviction and tried to exclaim that i had "hurt him" and stated that i was no different than anyone else that had hurt him in the past...but i told i am different because i am serving God and the fact that I wasnt going to go his way wasnt hurting..him..but i told him that im set apart, in the world but not of it, annointed and chosen by God ...and that no longer would i compromise... that i am serving God and I told him I pray that the Lord gives you peace with this and I let him go...
Its amazing how unbelievers and the enemy thinks that you will compromise for something that is not even half nice or holy...I know what the best is ..and have a taste and only a desire for that....and now that I have expereinced lack in relationship, just in a friendship...why would i go into something knowing that its not whole, ordianed or blessed by God..never again...stay up body Christ..more and better is coming for us..all you have to do is remain faithful...for the Lord God is faithful..and believe me ...tis worth it....
Hope this encouraged some..God bless
