"A call to action"
"And, has this not been spiritually presented many times within many
pages that many eyes have seen. When dark hearts are alerted, there
will arise great concern that will surely bring the cause of complacency to be a trembling
and troublesome burden. The consequence of complacency is that it's the definition
of a silent adversary meant to destroy. Meaning the severity of the harm is unseen before
things may become a crisis.
'Complacent behavior doesn't necessarily look sinister, so the consequences can
catch one spiritually unprepared, moreover with contempt and indifference the consequence
presents a spiritual malady...a troublesome void in one's life.'

COULD YOU JUST LISTEN?
When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving me advice, you have not done what I asked.
When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn't feel the way I do, you are trampling on my feelings.
When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem, you have failed me,
strange as that may seem.
LISTEN! All I asked was that you listen, not to talk or do, just hear me!
Advice is cheap, 25 cents will get me both Dear Abby and Billy Graham in the same newspaper.
I can do for myself, I am not helpless maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless.
When you do something for me that I can and need to do for myself, you contribute to my fear and inadequacy.
But when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel, no matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to convince you and get on about the business of understanding what's behind my irrational feelings. When that's clear, the answers are obvious and I don't need advice.
Irrational feelings make more sense when we understand what's behind them.
Perhaps that's why Prayer works, sometimes, for some people, because GOD is mute, and doesn't give advice and try to fix things. GOD just listens!
I already know the Spiritual Truth that the solution to all my problems lies within.
So, if I do hear GOD, it is a still, small voice from within myself, which, if I will but listen to it, gives me the answers that I am seeking.
Please just listen and hear me.
And if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn and I'll listen to you.

Trusting God's Character and Promises:
'Faith in an unseen God is built on the belief that God is faithful, loving, and powerful, even when circumstances seem difficult or uncertain.
'It involves believing in spiritual realities and divine truths that are beyond physical perception, such as the existence of God, the reality of heaven, and the spiritual realm.
'Faith provides a sense of confidence and assurance in God's promises and guidance, even when the outcome is not immediately visible.
'The Bible encourages believers to "walk by faith, not by sight," meaning that they should rely on their faith in God rather than solely on what they can see or understand.
I stand by all things posted in this thread.."I Saw the Light."
I can only hope to be an encouragement to those who may be lost in their way. I believe there are many.
The Holy Spirit coming upon this life can only be shared in so many words.
Living the experience is just that, a joy to behold.
