Those We Love

It's so hard to see those we love doing something we know isn't right or isn't good for them. You just want to sit them down and try and tell them in the most impartial way that what they are doing isn't right. It's hard because you know that they are happy now and their life feels good now, but you also know it will make it harder later. It's hard because you know they might think that you are being judgmental or that you have selfish motivations, but you really don't. You would even trade ever seeing or talking to them again for it if nessicary. It's hard because you just want them to be happy, but you want them to do what's right. It's also hard, because they don't think that what they are doing is going to make it harder or that what they are doing isn't right. It's hard because you love them so very much.

Well loved ones, if you won't listen to me then listen to the Lord. Listen to his prophets. Pray and fast. If you don't get an answer it's because you already know the answer. God won't give you revelation that has already been given to you whether directly or through others. If you do what is right, no matter how hard it may be, you will be blessed and your happiness will be fuller in doing what's right than in ignoring the counsel of the Lord. Loved ones you have done what is right before. I've been at the receiving end of a really hard right decision. I know that it was right. You know that it was right. Why do you continue to make the same mistake? You can still have the happiness and it can still come from the same source, but it the source must be approached differently. Loved ones, I know I may sound harsh and I know it may feel like I'm just being selfish, but I love you and I want what is best for you even if it hurts because I know that it will give you lasting happiness and true happiness. Don't forget that I love you and God loves you.
