Thanks Shel, truly.
It is tough sometimes and I feel a bit overwhelmed with a sense of "hopelessness" in regards to those that don't believe.
I just feel I need to do more, that simply telling them to listen isn't enough, I hope that by suing the bible I can get them on the road to finally listening to Him...
Maybe it is vanity and pride on my part to think that I can do this, but I just feel that I need to do something more than just say "listen to Him and follow Him".
Maybe it was because I wasn't able to reach my father before he died ( though I know his spirit is with Our Lord) and that I am still not able to reach my sister and mother.
I don't know...
Just want you and everyone here to know how much you all mean to me.
Good morning my brother, peace to you truly and to you as well Shelby my sister, peace!
Shelby will probably respond to this but I wanted to comment as it touched my heart.
It can feel overwhelming yes. But never feel hopeLESS my brother. I too used to feel this way often as there are so many ( literally hundreds of JWs or those associated with) between mine and my husbands family that I too have felt that could not be reached. I lost my mother a few ago and felt the same as you do with your father. She died not speaking a word to me as I was an " apostate". It broke my heart that she felt this way.
But this is where our Faith must remain unshakeable. That Jah and Jaheshuas mercy surpasses everything we can imagine and putting faith in the understanding of " those who do good to the least of Christs brothers, do good to Him." These will receive the blessings of the kingdom not because they were necessarily believers or listened to and obeyed CHRIST personally BUT because they were GOOD (doing a kind deed) to one of Christs brothers.
This is where you can " let go let God" with these ones. And remain in your faith that Jah does NOT WANT any to die.
So thank you for your sharing as always and being here with us. Love your sister and fellow servant of CHRIST, Kim
