I have a friend who I looked up to as a Christ follower. You can tell his relationship with our Lord is strong. In the recent past his focus with GOD has not been as strong as it once was, to a point where there was a bit of resentment towards GOD. It made me think, how can one resent GOD? Turn your back on GOD? Isn't that bad? Won't GOD be mad at you?
Our GOD is a loving GOD who forgives, and I have learned through this process of observing and engaging with my friend, it is OK to question Him. Its natural to have emotions which we as humans express, and when things start to go badly, it is normal/natural for us to express our feelings. We have to be careful cause some emotions can lead us to follow our own path which is set by ourselves and not GOD's will.
GOD has a path for you whether you know it or not. Sometimes you will try to drive your path in a direction you are not meant to go, but convinced your desire to go in that direction is correct, yet you are met with a brink wall or a room full of headaches and a backfull of rocks. It is only until you stop and listen to how GOD is guiding you, will you know your path set by our LORD, even then, you will NOT know your final destination.
You must continually have a loving relationship with GOD.
+ ENGAGE Him. PRAY and Worship! He is listening and he will answer you
+ LISTEN to Him- He is always speaking to you (in more ways than one)
+ SURRENDER - Only then can you engage and listen
+ OBEDIENT - Honor Him through your obedience. You will be Blessed.
+ SURROUND - Surround yourself with people who act on the first 4 bullets
My friend strayed but was able to brush the dust off and rebuild a relationship with GOD. I proud of my friend. I had not seen a smile from him in a long time. I am happy he opened his heart to receive HIM.
