Yesterday a situation arose, there was a very bad storm heading our way, and my girl friend went to warn another friend that he should come in before it gets here. the wind was getting stronger and the skies were getting darker, the news was calling for strong winds 70+ miles /hr. heavy rain and hail. our friend was out walking, when she got to him she said to get in the car and she would bring him to shelter, but he refused and this made her a little mad, after all she could have been doing other things to get ready for this storm but instead she was trying to save a friend.
When she came back she said that he thought that it was exciting that the weather was changing and that he was going to stay where he was.
After a while she calmed down, I tried explaining to he that we can't tell people what we think is best for them, maybe he was prepared for the storm. but even if he wasn't we can't save everyone. sometimes we can't save anyone.
We all have to make our own choices in life, the Lord gave that to us.
the answer to the question is : No, I am not anyone's keeper, I can't choose how someone will live their life I can show concern , and maybe ad a comment or two. but the final word would be that of their own.
don't stop showing them that you care for them, just don't take it personally if they choose a different way than yours.
Sometimes we all need to get a little wet to wake us up, and sometimes a knock on the head by a hail stone might be what we need, and then there are times when we need to get struck by lightning because we aren't paying attention To GOD, either of the ways or maybe all, we know that our Lord will watch out for His Children. He will be there to protect us or to lead us home. .
Are you ready for the storms in your life?
Do you have a hold of the Lords hand?
Do you know where you will spend eternity, when you die?
Do you want to know more about Jesus?
Contact me, if I can be any help to you.
