People never cease to amaze me. I am firm believer in Faith, angels, Jesus (#1) and miracles. I have been obsessing lately over my neighbor. Not that he interests me, because he is a mess, but he has this tendency to make deals with God. I don't believe in making deals with God. One needs to be careful what they wish for, no matter what/who they believe. Whether one believes in God or not (which I do), the Universes power is much stronger than we can ever imagine. For me I believe that God's power is stronger than ever imagined. For me I need to make this about the Lord, but people have the choice to believe in whatever they chose.
The bottom line is this man has been healed of the disease and I am grateful that God has helped him. What hurts is to see how this man's behavior has changed. I wish I could say it's for the best, but he has been doing some really nasty things. He is into porn and looking for threesomes, he is on Craig's List looking for sex. What is so sad is that he has a young daughter who lives with him. It just hurts my soul to see this kind of behaviour when a miracle is given. People forget to get down on thier knees.
He also has been very cruel to me, with his new found miracle. I am just a joke to him. We were I thought friends, but he has been really rude and inappropiate to me. We are NOT involved in any way. We are next door neighbors. I never was into him any more than a fellow soul caring for another, and my heart went out to his 12 year old daughter, because she has some problems and is so unhappy. Rarely did we speak except to say "Hello" on my way out to the car or to walk my dog, yet around the Holidays he spoke of depression and killing himself often. He would just have his head down and sit outside smoking. This went on for a couple of weeks...every time I saw him...so as a nieghbor and fellow being, I knew that something needed to be done to help this man. So, I called a counselor friend and they spoke to him and between us both, he went to a doctor for medication (counseling?) and for a few months, my friend and I would have him and his daughter over for dinner or coffee (at my place) to see how he was. He started to do much better and it was noticable that this disease that he had (which was a immune disorder) was doing much, much better.
I have had to just pray and put them into God's hands. It's not my place to interfere or even say anything. Do I feel anger? Yes, and that too, I need to turn over to the Lord. Oh, I am not angry for me...the anger comes from seeing what incredible gifts the Lord gives and how people just toss him aside when they are well.
Sure we forget at times what God does for us. We are human/falible. It's just that no matter what and what I am going through-whether God gives me the time or day or if he is too busy--i know in my heart that I need to keep my morals and values intact, and that I abide by the Bible and 10 Commandments. I am grateful that I don't use people, even though because of my nature, unfortunately, I have been stomped on. It hurts for a while but i know in my heart that God is in control, not me. All we can do is reach out and hope others will go to a place of worship.
I am grateful to know that God loves me--even with my faults. It just saddens me when people go out of their way to hurt or use others, especially when they use the Lord as a wolve would in sheep's clothing.
Thank you God for the lessons that I have learned in life and for allowing me to be a better person. Everyone else, I just pray for or lay in the Lord's hands. There is nothing more to be done, then the be an example of what Christ would do.
Blessings.
