That is not a concept most want to embrace, but all who live to please God will experience it. If we are truly willing to follow God he will ask us to do things that are not popular, go against the grain of our fleshly desires, the worlds opinion and even at times the opinion of our brothers and sisters in the Lord. We are called to follow HIM even when it hurts. It is part of our training as it was his. It is in suffering that we truly come to know the Lord for in our weaknesses we are made strong!<BR/><BR/>Nice read!<BR/><BR/>VonnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25635043.post-74265142147596431382008-08-28T18:59:00.000-04:002008-08-28T18:59:00.000-04:00Part 3 will be posted tomorrow morning.

It is true to follow God and his path for you will probably make you look strange and foolish. <BR/><BR/>I am eager to read the third part. <BR/><BR/>I think it sucks how we read alot of how things went down in the death of christ and his coming back to life. But when you think about it and think about how much pain he was in it is a humbling thing. I mean we think a papercut hurts and sticking ourselves in the foot with a nail is awful. But all the tourture he went through for us is so mind blowingly amazing. <BR/><BR/>I don't think i would be able to go through all that for others who had wronged me. <BR/><BR/>good talk! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
