Two of the most discouraging things I can think of when it comes to being a Christian are: someone you thought you helped has fallen away and that you find your own self falling away.
Just recently I recieved a phone call from a friend of mine whom I thought was finally on the right track with God. Each time I spoke to her, she always made the comments that she's allowing God to lead her life in a direction He see's fit. When I received the phone call she was drunk out of her mind not to mention was saying things in her drunken state that I don't care to repeat. It led me to think that my efforts to help her come to the Lord had been for nothing. I was so angry and so discouraged that I really began questioning if anything she ever said about following God was even true.
Then, to make matters worse, I took a long look at my life from the past few years and I found that I didn't like what it was I saw. I had fallen under so much temptation you would think I was drowning in it. I am greatly unsatisfied of where I am with the Lord. I've wanted so much to get back on the road, but its as though I don't even make it to the first step. My prayer life is almost non-existent and its no surprise. I've chosen a very bad path and I need so badly to get back on the right trail. But when that will be, I don't know.
All I can really say is the line from that great old song: "I can face uncertain days, because He lives". |
