Here's an example of what Roger has been sending me. I love him and all, but clearly, he's never heard of the words "tact" and "sensitivity."
Dear Lin,
(Ephesians 5:17) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Some how I hope you have gotten over you "INFATUATION" with this Younger Boy. You said that you were wanting the Lord's Will in this situation? See 1Samuel 3:21 and the Lord revealed.........!
Did you ever finish that series on "Spiritual Warfare?" You see, that is exactly what you have been exposed to! Satan has only three tools, and he uses these against us. He tempted Christ, did you think that he would leave the Body of Christ, each of us believers, Alone?
(1John 2:1517) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1Jo 2:16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (1Jo 2:17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
You are being pulled by the FLESH, and those desires, "War against the Soul". ARE You are waiting for something that God has not promised? Did God promise you marriage and children? Suppose HE wants you to be a single missionary "somewhere in the world" are you open to His Will or just to you will?
Please don't think that I am being 'Tough on You' but I did not become a Christian till I was you age! You have been a Christian for how many years? You have studied God's Word for how long? You have a command of the Doctrines of the Faith, "Salvation, Justification, Election, Prayer, Scripture Study and the like for How Many Years? You live on a budget, have planning for 1-3-5 year periods? You know how to converse with the Unsaved, and lead someone to Christ? You have studied the Word, and can teach the Word Effectively to other Women?
Yes, I am not being Sacarastic, but you seem to 'DO QUITE WELL' with all the Other Social Issues, and ACLU and all those other things, "That Do Not Bring GLORY TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!" Yet you say you are seeking God's WILL, concerning a Mate? Please, lets get serious here! IF, you had studied the Word, as much as you got involved in those Social Issues, you would be immediately able to DISCERN, about this Younger Boy! YES, I SPEAK TO YOU, AS I WOULD TO A YOUNGER SISTER THAT I DON'T HAVE!
(Gal 2:20) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Gal 2:21) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
In Christ,
Roger
