Another great quote from a book I’m reading, Because We Love Him – Embracing a Life of Holiness:
With every sin comes the saddest of all consequences: the tradgedy of what might have been had we obeyed God.

THAT IS A GOOD ONE!
My heart is hurting right now for a young friend of mine. She’s a young 21 year old, has accepted Christ, but is now living a life of rebellion. She has come to me a few times over the past few years wanting help to leave her lifestyle of drinking, partying, sex, but she is so drawn she can’t seem to pull away. Katie and I have done what we can as far as pray for her, prayed with her, invited her to bible studies, church…but, SHE needs to make the break and surrender her life which she is obviously unwilling to do.
Recently, Katie somewhat confronted this young woman, and of course we both ended up rejected. I can’t stand watching this bright and beautiful young woman throw her life away, but until she turns, there is nothing beyond prayer we can do. She is fighting a spiritual battle and seems evil is winning out at the moment.
This quote you post is too appropriate for this situation I speak of. I hate watching tragedy unfold.
I will be praying for her. Check out “true and false conversion“. I know you will love it; and if you can get her to get to listen it may fill in a lot of gaps in her theology.
I’m familiar with True and False Conversion. Nikki is in total rebellion and is not open to anything at the moment. It is a waiting/praying game now.
Like the father of the prodigal son.
