I'm sorry I have no scriptural insights on this topic. It's just something that's made my heart heavy this past year and unfortunately, the beginning of this year, and I just want to get it off my chest.
We fall in love with friends and enjoy our fellowship with them, then later we see them falling away from the Lord. We try in our gentlest way to nudge them back, like a mother mare nudging her foal to get up, but to no avail. Here are some of the things I've tried:
1. I've tried to love and support them back into faithfulness. It's failed.
2. I've tried subtle hints and hypothetical discussions with them. It's failed.
3. I've gotten out of my comfort zone and overcome my own fears to invent new angles at trying to rescue them. So far, it's failing (but I've not given up yet).
4. I've never stopped praying for them, and I won't; but I fear that some people are so locked in Satan's clutches that they can no longer be touched by God's love or mine. Their conscience is so hardened that they can no longer feel the pain of conviction. They've become adulterated by people who continue to pull them away from God. Worshipping Him has becoming a boring inconvenience to them. I fear they are forevermore spiritually lost.
What now? I would be glad to try anything else if I could think of it. Suggestions, anyone?
Love Ya,
God Bless!
