AN INVISIBLE WALL

   Even though you can be a Christian with your faith in Jesus Christ, and with your faith in God, and with your faith in the Word of God, how do you respond to negative situations in your personal life?
   How do you respond to rejection by family members when all you are trying to do is to do the right thing?
   How do you respond to negative criticism by people who have been friends with you for years and even for decades when they suddenly find fault with you when all you are trying to do is to do the right thing?
   When you stand up for truth, how many people stand up with you in your belief?
   It is easy to say "let go and let God," but that is not easy to do. 
   The question that arises is this:  What do people do with truth?  How do they react or respond to truth?
   The truth of the matter is this:  Many people do not want to know the truth.  They want to continue to have life as they are living instead of going through the agony of making a change.  They want life to continue in their own way and they are not interested in any opinion other than their own. 
   Therefore, it is me with a problem, not them.  It is me who has become an enemy, not them.
   Christ was rejected because He is truth, and, because He is truth, He became the enemy and the problem.  And people believed that killing Christ would eliminate the enemy and the problem.
   As Christians standing for truth, we become enemies of people, even among our own families and among friends.  They find fault with us.  They shoot us in the back with poison arrows.  They want us to continue living and believing as they believe.  They criticise and condemn us.  They want us to return to their camp and not be so serious about Christ, about God, and about the Holy Bible.
   Even though we can know this as believers, having to live in these circumstances is not easy.  As stated, it is is easy to say "let go and let God," but this is not easy to do.  And reaching for an answer is not easy, either, and an invisible wall exists between us and people we know.
