after all of the sparks...
you're still alone in the dark
and I've been thinking, over thinking...
After all those times I've done my best to share the truth that is Christ and all those nights I've prayed... three of my closest friends are still ultimately alone in the dark. And I don't know how to change it. It's been over a year since I first witnessed to them and a few months since the last time, a few days for one of them. I've been praying for close to two years. Is this not God's timing, or am I failing Him? Or is this just a lesson in paitence? I don't know how to tell.
And how many other friends have I made this year and not even thought about reaching out to? A Wiccian. A strong athiest. A half-agnostic half-reincarnationist-evolutionist. Various probably Christians but I don't know. Various strong agnostics. My own family. My own Sunday school class. Upperclassmen. Middle schoolers. Even strong Christians who seem blind to some solution and I don't know how to fill them in without sounding proud and controlling.
I can see the problems... but the solutions feel miles away.
Someone told me once that the longest twelve inches are those from your head to your heart.
I one hundred percent agree.

God will use you when He plans to. When you witness to them, and they don't respond by salvation, its out of your control. God works in His ways, all you can do beyond telling them is praying that God will workout the rest (pastor talked about this tonight :))
i second what emily said... i couldnt have made it sound better if i was C.S. lewis... God will use you, its in His perfect timing... maybe those three have created hardened hearts withing themselves and you couldnt do anything to stop it... no one could

Please don't put so much pressure on yourself. You are an amazing, talented, open-hearted Christian girl.
I admire your passion for the salvation of your friends. You have diligently stood firm in your faith, and I also admire that persistence in living for Jesus.
God knows your heart and your desire to reach out for Him. In my little opinion, you have done a fantastic job of taking the light of Christ into this dark world. You are God's ambassador . .I don't think it is even possible that you could fail Him. We reach out for Him, and He does the work, in His perfect time.
Jesus Christ is always the solution. Therefore, it's not miles away, but as close as your own precious heart.
Stay strong, sister. And smile. God rejoices over you with singing! ~Zephaniah 3:17
