Imagine...

...discussing the fact that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord with people you love and hearing one of them say 'He would have to break my knees for me to bow' & staying calm and pleading with your loved one not to say things like that.

...someone you love - that knows how much you love the Lord - announcing to you that they are planning to write a book to disprove the bible - and being able to say 'you have my blessing - I'll be the first to read it' and mean it - with no hard feelings?

...discovering something you had suspected but hoped and prayed was not going on with someone you love - indeed was - and had been - and it's out of your hands - all you can do is pray and hope for doors to open and change to happen?

...walking into the comfort of your living room and being surprised with a visit from someone who lives far away - but they are right in front of you - confronting you with news that is too shocking to possibly be true - but they have a witness and insist that it is - and all you can do is laugh?

...having to learn to walk in love and forgive daily after years of disappointment, hurt, and pain - knowing that no matter how tired you are; how you feel; or what you think, say, or do; God expects you to listen, submit, obey, love, and forgive anyway?

...more to follow - later - my eyes are heavy with my heart and I'm going to sleep!
