I know it is not true for all that do not know Jesus, but it does seem common. Many do not think about and /or care about consequences for their actions and than they continually come back, crying out in their suffering for their consequences. It makes it really hard when it is someone close to you. They refuse to see the Truth and they refuse to listen to any warning you give them out of love. Example "You better go pay that bill today or it will be late and than you will have fees"...It seems nothing makes them learn their lesson; nothing.
So say they don't go pay the bill or are late for their appointment than they come back to you "crying" about all the fees or items getting taken away or negative effects in general that happen. ( for the record none of us are perfect; I am referring to this situation happening with all aspects of their life)
Hmmm they don't seem to take action in being prepared and preparing for the worse. Instead they enjoy and than cry when it is all dried up. The believer (in this case) is the total opposite and prepares, thinks ahead, and tries to look at things and make them stretch as far as possible. More than happy to go without to make things last one more day with hope of it getting better. While the nonbeliever likes to consume and use up what the believer tried to prepare for emergency purposes. Hmm feels like a losing battle for the believer ,at the same time they try to remain positive and patient so break downs and depression don't set in over things and people they cannot control.
It makes it even harder when the nonbelievers consequences effect you and others. You have to live their consequences because you are joined to them in some way i.e. marriage. It also makes it hard when others don't understand your position as the believer and give you no encouragement. Living this cycle is very rough!
Trying to find support groups or others that understand and it seems almost impossible. So alone in the struggles, like I said, I have no control over. Living in another's consequences and seeing my daughter suffer on top of it. Working so hard, so very hard for things and not having much to begin with and it ALL gets taken away. Hearing nothing but you should do this or you should do that or don't let that happen. Of course I agree but what am I to do? And it's like I said I am trying and trying again. I am a hard worker who tries my hardest to avoid all negatives. I put all others before myself and I do not mind it. In fact I enjoy it. What I do mind is the other person and them not knowing Jesus and not even for a minute won't even consider given the chance.
The nonbeliever (I am referring to) says they just can't believe in Jesus they just can't. No proof. You brag about the Holy Spirit to them and about how that is proof but they just plain old don't get it and can't (I know of scripture that refers to this). Hmm what are they communicating here? That maybe the possibility that Satan has so destroyed their true heart and deadened their soul that they can't? I would assume so. How in the world in a situation like this does Jesus get through? I need some hopeful encouragement here in many aspects. The nonbeliever by the way also listens much about Jesus, has read the whole bible, yet has much knowledge of other religions and worldly knowledge. Knowledge can be damaging (I know what many will say to that comment that don't know Jesus).
One more thing; the horrible physical pain this person is in is getting to me psychologically. Not because I feel bad for the person, but because these moans make me feel like I am trapped in a home of, Hmm should I say it; hell or better yet maybe a mental hospital or hospital of war.
Much, so much with this. I don't know... :(
