From a girl who grew up in a Christian home with a Christian family, can you tell me: what could've someone said to you in middle or high school to make you seek out Christ? My children (obviously being raised in a Christian home) frequently come across kids their age who have no background of Christianity. Jesus is as real to them as Santa Claus. Do you have any insight as to what could be said to someone who simply has had their heart hardened to what they believe to be "nonsense"?

I have to tell you how much your comments bless me. I really worry about saying too much or being too invasive, but I also have this intense "rising up" inside me of being tired of the enemy's deceptions which people believe. I want to speak truth, but very, very much with love, although, I'm not sure I always come off sounding very gentle. Your comment on CK's gave me the courage to say what I did. Yet, there are people who will still be blind to the truth:( Thanks again!!! It really means a lot to me:) HeavenHeavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000637945435094609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-49716648818211776912008-11-01T19:43:00.000-05:002008-11-01T19:43:00.000-05:00Hi Edie,Great question.

I love reading about when God shows up and speaks to us and we are paying attention and don't miss it! <BR/><BR/>I will be watching for you to post the rest of your story. <BR/><BR/>I asked God a question once about forgiveness when I had been hurt extremely bad. It was when I was so wounded and I was lashing out at the Lord. I reminded Him what a good girl I was and asked Him why this particular thing happened to me and then I asked Him to show me if I had any wrong in my life that contributed...NOTE TO SELF ** NEVER ASK GOD TO REVEAL YOUR SIN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW IT!! <BR/><BR/>The Lord spent the next few hours reminding me that I had not submitted to my husband willingly, lovingly. And a few other things as well....I finally had to sit and beg for my own forgiveness for my own faults. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the Lord shows up and speaks to our hearts when we need Him to. And I for one am so grateful. Thanks for this reminder Edie.

And you must have believed that He was going to answer that prayer, because you prayed more than once.
