"To Mechelle re: "Spiritual battle before He comes""
Yes Dear Mechelle, I too am weary, sad and
melancholic and at times very overwhelmingly so. I also believe
it is a spiritual battle that seems to keep trying to get the best of
us. I cry myself to sleep at nights, I beg the Lord to come soon,
I feel very negative about the future of this world, in part because I
strongly believe that we are in the last days and we know what's coming
to this world but yet it is still not here. I struggle like many
others because of the state of the present economy. I see that
being a Christian is becoming offensive to the general population and I
see the attacks against our beliefs. I am tired of the cruelty I
see everywhere against people and animals. I see the greed of our
politicians, I see the rebellion of our youths. I want so much to
just see the beauty of the world, the beautiful sunsets, the flowers
and all of God's beautiful creation but it gets overshadowed by the
ugliness evil is spreading around. I just don't know how to think
positive of this present world, there is so much suffering and not much
hope left. I just don't know..... So, Mechelle, I too need
prayers and I have the feelings that we are not alone. But I know
that this is when we have to really focus and hang on to the blessed
hope Our Savior promised and just know that soon it will be over, soon
sister, soon.
Stay strong in Him Sister and continue to tell to all that Jesus is coming soon, He is.
In His Love,
Barbara
