Okay, so I talked to Nathan and Jeff about my last post, and I am feeling a little better. Not that I am utterly convinced of things, but I have been swayed to the perspective that despite salvation status, there is always hope that those who have lost their vision will step into it once more. For now, I choose to hope for my friends.

I am doing a lot of that right now. I am hoping for my friends. And I am hoping for myself.

I have to believe that He sees my darkness
I have to believe that He knows my pain
I have to lift up my hands to worship
Worship His name

I have to declare that He is my refuge
I have to deny that I am alone
I have to lift up my eyes to the mountains
It’s where my help comes from

He said that He’s forever faithful
He said that He’s forever true
He said that He can move mountains
And if He can move mountains
He can move my mountain
He can move Your mountain too

I have to comment! I have to share my testimony! It is what I called my Hebrews testimony - because in Hebrews the pastor is warning his congregation about falling away - not losing their salvation but losing the benefits they received when they received salvation. Hebrews 6 is the focus passage. I fell away once - and for a long time - and if you looked at my life then, you would never have guessed I was a Christian - I didn't live like it - but God never lets us go - Jesus says in the book of John says "no one can pluck them from my hand" - but thankfully I chose to return, to surrender my life to the LORDship of Christ - accepting him as more than just my savior -giving him his rightful place in my life. In Chapt 6 the statement is made that no one can bring them back - and that is true - you have to choose it.
