What do you know, the Friends that i openned up to yesterday have both been walking with Christ for nearly 8yrs now and i got some very encouraging and uplifting words when i told them i am born again. One of them has gone on to become a priest.
" I am happy for you to have managed to find him, actually I respect you for being out right and acknowledging you are saved. I have met many people who wish to practice in the closet or who claim we like preaching, but knowing God is a step that no ordinary person can understand. How you feel and appreciate every minute he has given you - I am quite sure he knows all about that". These words touched me because in an earlier post i mentioned feeling guilty of being ashamed of God if i did not tell my old mates that i am born again, mates whom i was in the world with and had not been intouch for a very, very long time.
All in all i would have sinned against God and on a lessr note would not have gained the respect of the mates and niether would i have recieved all those touching, uplifting and encouraging words had i not openned up to them.
What i have learnt from this that i was judgemental and we know it is wrong to judge others. If i was not judgemental, some may feel, then why was i having doubts about telling them i am born again?
God Bless you All!!
